Artist need opportunities, we create them. When you fund the WORTHLESSSTUDIOS Photographer in Residence program, photographers get access to the dedicated time, materials, and support they need to make new work.

By donating to WORTHLESSSTUDIOS, you can help us fund next year's photographers. We provide:

$9,000 covers artist stipends
$8,000 covers training from experienced photographers
$8,000 covers artist materials and equipment
$7,000 covers resident video production
$6,000 covers maintenance of our mobile darkroom
$5,000 covers public programming designed by residents
$1,500 covers transportation of the Airstream to a new residency location

Between now and December 31, we’re striving to close a $50,000 funding gap to bring the 2026 Photographer in Residence program to life. Your year-end gift directly empowers the next cohort of artists with the materials, support, and creative freedom they need at a pivotal moment in their careers.

WORTHLESSSTUDIOS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL RESOURCES TO EMERGING EPOCH-MAKING ARTISTS PRODUCING AMBITIOUS ARTWORK.
