Pedantic Open Call for Residents and Grantees

Pedantic Arts is thrilled to host an open call for applicants for its next two rounds of the residency program as well as The Grant.

Pedantic Arts (Pedantic) is seeking applicants for creatives and researchers to participate in the Summer 2027 and Fall 2027 Terms. Entering its sixth year of operations, Pedantic continues its mission of re-embracing the impact that education, study, and contemplation can have on artistic output by interconnecting creators, organizers, and critics. As the program seeks new residents whose practices engage visual arts, curation, and writing, this opportunity invites rich cross-disciplinary dialogue and collective, exploratory immersion within Pittsburgh’s artistic and cultural landscape. The open call is now live and concludes on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST. A virtual Q&A session will be hosted on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. EST. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
