Pedantic Arts Residency (Pedantic) Summer and Winter 2026 (Due Oct. 13)
Pedantic Arts Residency (Pedantic) Summer and Winter 2026
Deadline: October 13th, 2025
The Pedantic Arts Residency (Pedantic) is seeking applicants for the Summer 2026 and Winter 2026 terms. Open to non-Pittsburgh residents, Pedantic is a program that provides free housing and an immersion into the Pittsburgh arts community while fostering creative discussion and thought. Different from previous years, Pedantic will be changing its yearly schedule and hosting the residency during the summer and fall instead of winter.
Formulated to host a visual artist, curator, and writer, Pedantic aims to encourage dialogue and cross-disciplinary exchange while establishing connections between non-Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh-based cultural producers and creatives. Pedantic is also seeking applicants for The Grant, a separate program from the arts residency that is independently-led and open to those aiming to do Pittsburgh-based research.
The open call is now live, and the deadline is October 13 at 11:59PM EST. Creatives can apply for free from today until September 15. Starting September 16, there will be a $20 fee for all applications. We're also hosting a free virtual q&a session for any interested applicants on September 10 at 6pm. Registration for the q&a is required to receive the invite link.
Applications are FREE through September 15, 2025. Applications will be $20 starting September 16 until the Open Call closes on October 13, 2025.
