Artist in Residence
Since the inception of our artist residency program in 2015, we have worked with 15 Philadelphia-based artists to create works that expand the interpretation of the historic Glen Foerd estate. Works from past residents have challenged dominant historical narratives by focusing on issues of wealth inequality, race, industrialization, and environmental conservation, among other contemporary social concerns. We prioritize work that is experimental in nature, engages new and diverse audiences, and will allow the artist an opportunity to advance their practice.
Applications are open!
Glen Foerd will be selecting one performing artist or collective for the 2027 Residency Program.
Applications are due December 6.

Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy, dance-theater, performance art, and deluded rant – sometimes with songs. Tatarsky experienced fleeting fame as Andy Kaufman’s daughter and used to perform as a mound of dirt. Playing with language and narrative structure, their live performances are highly responsive to venue and audience, often breaking the fourth wall and embracing humor to dissect the construction of community and self in real time. Solo works include DIRT TRIP (MoMA PS1), Untitled Freakout (The Kitchen), Gnome Core (Glen Foerd), Americana Psychobabble (La Mama, Jacob’s Pillow), MATERIAL (Whitney Museum), and Sad Boys in Harpy Land (Abrons, Playwrights Horizons).

Yannick Lowery is an interdisciplinary artist currently working in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from New York City, he embraces both cities as cultural and creative influences, drawing on their rich and diverse visual art histories to fuel his practice. Yannick studied sculpture and design at The Atlanta College of Art (now SCAD) and Columbia College in Chicago. Yannick’s work often weaves together illustrated proverbs, premonitions, and historical references to guide viewers through cultural introspection and imaginative narratives. Using archival imagery and his own photography, he engages in world-building through collage, animation, cyanotypes, and sculptural pieces, creating thought-provoking and exploratory works
