In 1997, Nancy B. Negley purchased the former residence of Dora Maar. In a five-year effort, she rehabilitated and updated this spacious eighteenth-century, four-story stone residence in the village of Ménerbes. Her goal was to make it a retreat for scholars, artists, and writers, where they could work undisturbed on their research, art, or writing, for one to two months.

Here outstanding mid-career professionals are offered fellowships that enable them to reside in the Dora Maar House and focus on the creative aspects of their work.

We are sorry to say the house is not completely adapted to persons with limited mobility access. It is on top of a hill in a medieval village. Getting to the house or to any of the stores in the village would be difficult. The rooms and studios are up two flights of stairs, though there is an elevator. The elevator cannot accommodate most wheelchairs. It is a very old house (15th century) and the floors are not even, there are small steps up and down between rooms.

A person with mobility issues can discuss with the staff their specific needs and level of mobility to see if it would be possible. Persons with some but limited mobility have been able to enjoy a month-long residency with some restrictions. Caregiver or companion is allowed in this context, but they must be a partner and willing to share the same bedroom with the fellow.

Artists have played an important role in the formation, preservation, and enjoyment of national parks. Over a century ago, by painting landscapes of the American West, artists publicized many of the natural wonders of a land little known to an eastern populace. Their body of work helped to foster appreciation for these national wonders which ultimately resulted in the establishment of many national parks. Artist’s interpretation of park landscapes through many types of media connects people to these special places, which is an essential part of the preservation and protection of America’s national parks.

At Great Basin National Park, artists will be surrounded by the natural beauty of the park from the 13,063-foot summit of Wheeler Peak to the depths of Lehman Caves. The park offers the solitude of the wilderness and provides expansive and renowned dark-sky stargazing. The sights, sounds, and textures of the environment, along with uninterrupted time, offer a respite from typical daily life and provide inspiration for creative work.

Letters, Numbers & Symbols explores the intersection of language, mathematics, and semiotics through the captured image. The fundamental building blocks of communication—letters, numbers, and symbols, often taken for granted, are reimagined and deconstructed in ways that challenge our perceptions and deepen our understanding of the visual and conceptual power of these basic units of meaning.

Letters, Numbers & Symbols is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. ​​​​​​​All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS is a thematic open call resulting in a physical exhibition in New York City in late January of 2025.

"THROUGH the LOOKING GLASS" isn't just about stepping into a fantastical world—it's about the journey of transformation and understanding that occurs when we dare to cross the threshold between what is known and what lies beyond. Moving through the Looking Glass refers to entering an alternate space; it suggests stepping into a place where the usual rules don't apply, and everything seems unpredictable.

Here, curiosity leads one through experiences and learning, and symbolism hints at deeper knowledge. The process of transition to a new perspective, like viewing the world from the other side of a mirror, suggests a shift in understanding or perception that reveals hidden truths or alternative viewpoints and adds nuance to what we already know.

All art media are welcome.
