Non-local applicants (from outside of Buffalo) must wait a period of five years.

Number of Participants

Two applications will be awarded residencies. Collectives or collaboratives can apply, however, please note that if accepted, the group would share the resources offered by Squeaky Wheel (stipend, artist fees, transportation refund, accommodations.) Residents may bring children, however, please note that if accepted, you and your dependent(s) would have to similarly share resources awarded by Squeaky Wheel.
