 This week, Ucross launched its spring session, welcoming its first group of artists-in-residence in 2024. From February through early June, 62 artists — writers, visual artists, composers, choreographers, and interdisciplinary artists — will receive residencies at the renowned program, which is located on a 20,000-acre ranch in northern Wyoming.
“We are honored to support these exceptional artists and their work,” said Ucross President William Belcher. “Our program continues to be a beacon for artists from around the country, and we look forward to providing each of them with open space and uninterrupted time.” Notable Ucross Fellows this session include famed jazz drummer, composer, producer, and educator Terri Lyne Carrington of Woburn, Massachusetts; PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author Alyssa Songsiridej of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; painter Margaret Curtis of Tryon, North Carolina; and performance artist Sharon Mashihi of Brooklyn, New York. Fellowships range from two to six weeks, with a maximum of 10 artists in residence at one time. Ucross Fellows receive a private studio, living accommodations, meals by a professional chef, and the unparalleled experience of the majestic High Plains. The residency is fully funded and includes a stipend to defray expenses. Ucross has two open calls each year. This session’s roster includes general Ucross residents selected from 635 applicants by an independent jury of artists and leaders in the field, as well as the 2024 recipients of the Ucross Fellowships for Native American Visual Artists and Writers. In addition, several artists will join the program through partnerships with esteemed national organizations, including the PEN/Hemingway Award, Rice University Shepherd School of Music, University of Houston, and Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. The artists will travel to Ucross from 21 states, as well as Canada and Poland.
