Announcing the fourth year of The Cornish CCS Fellowship Residency

July 29, 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

White River Junction, Vermont – The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) announces the fourth year of The Cornish CCS Fellowship Residency. The month-long residency is held during the height of New England’s fall foliage season and will include a $3000 stipend. The deadline to apply is August 15, 2019.

Located in Cornish, NH, The Cornish CCS Residency is designed to create a focused and inspiring environment for cartoonists to create exceptional work. Cornish is located 16 miles from The Center for Cartoon Studies (VT), in beautiful rural New Hampshire.

This residency is made possible by former CCS board member, cartoonist Harry Bliss, whose work regularly appears in The New Yorker. “I want to attract the best cartoonists working today and create a residency that is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for storytellers who are pushing the boundaries of the medium,” Bliss said.

“The Cornish CCS Residency Fellowship was a formative and singular artistic experience for which I am incredibly grateful. Focus on comics in the relative solitude of a New England Autumn is a real gift and during my month-long stay I was able to refine my work while also enjoying a restorative quiet.” –Ali Fitzgerald, 2017 Fellow
