With a focus on experimentation and collaboration, Dieu Donné's Workspace provides emerging New York State based visual artists with the opportunity to explore paper pulp as an artistic medium. The program encourages emerging visual artists to explore the creative possibilities inherent in the hand papermaking process, and to develop this medium as a contemporary art form.

The Dieu Donné Workspace residency includes an introduction to the medium and process, 5 days in the studio with a dedicated collaborator, and a $500 stipend. The residency concludes with a group exhibition. It is open to emerging visual artists who live and work in New York State. Artists from all disciplinary and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Applications will not be accepted from students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs during the program year. Applicants must be New York State residents and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. No prior papermaking experience is required.
