A program  empowering artists, creators, storytellers, innovators, organizers, strategists and others working at the intersections of media, technology and culture to further hone their practice through eight months of exploration and collaboration with a dynamic, diverse, and amazing cohort of Fellows.

The Pennsylvania Creative Asset Program supports small- to mid-sized creative organizations that deliver services, products, and/or programs that align with one or more of Pennsylvania Creative Industries’ strategic plan focus areas.

The Giving Circle of Women’s Connection Philadelphia’s focus for 2026 is Food Insecurity. Eligible organizations will be nonprofits with a significant commitment to improving access to affordable, healthy food for women and their families in Philadelphia.  They will include those offering a range of services, such as food banks, community gardens, meal programs, excess food collection and distribution, and nutrition education.

Each resident will span three months and will include time for independent research, open access & public hours at The Water Shed, and community-facing programs. Artists may apply individually or as part of a collaborative team.

Designed to be interactive – inviting participants to share challenges and practice skills with one another. These workshops are for new and seasoned organizers actively building base, working in coalition, or exploring how to make base and coalition building part of their work.
