The application fee helps us cover the administrative costs associated with processing and reviewing each application. This includes compensating our panel of curators and artists for their time and expertise in evaluating submissions, as well as supporting the operational expenses of running our residency programs.

Charging a fee also ensures that we can maintain the high quality of our programs and provide the necessary resources and support to our resident artists. By contributing this fee, applicants help sustain the ongoing efforts of Art Gallery Studios to foster artistic excellence, cultural exchange, and community building within the queer and allied art communities.

Please note that your application will not be reviewed until we receive the $25 USD application fee.

Ensure you use the same email address for the payment as you did for your application. Alternatively, you can follow up with a receipt of your payment to our email: info@artgallerystudios.com

Once we receive your payment, we will begin reviewing your application and references. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Your application will remain active on our platform for 7 days and if not paid will be deleted.
