Applying as a group or collaborative pair? Each artist is required to submit their own application. Within your proposal, please clearly note the name(s) of the collaborator(s) with whom you intend to work.
Applying as a Mudhouse Alum? Returning alumni are asked to submit a project proposal, rather than an application. Alumni artists are accepted on a first response basis. Please include your proposed project, the fee tier you are able to pay, and whether or not you are interested in being considered for one of the work-study positions.
