Summer Studio Assistantships are available in each of our eight studios: Blacksmithing, Ceramics, Fine Metals, Fibers: Surface, Fibers: Structure, Wood, Photography and Special Topics. Assistantship positions generally run the length of the summer workshop season (May - September), but may vary from studio to studio as some departments prefer to split the summer between two or more assistants. Assistants live at Peters Valley and work in the studio, on average, 35hrs. per week. Responsibilities include but are not limited to maintaining the studio, welcoming & preparing for incoming students and instructors, etc. In exchange Assistants are provided with room & board as well as workshop and exhibition opportunities.

From the beginning of November to the end of April, Peters Valley provides residency opportunities for practicing artists. These residencies may be one or two months in duration and provide a heated room and access to a heated studio, except blacksmithing, for a monthly fee (currently $500). Materials and food are the responsibility of the participant but all houses are equipped with fully functional kitchens. Through the generosity of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, a limited number of scholarships are available to New Jersey residents. These scholarships cover the fee and provide a monthly stipend to the selected artists.
