Artist Residencies: Urgent Deadlines

(ALL) The Millay Colony for the Arts Residencies: The Millay Colony for the Arts offers one-month residencies to six visual artists, writers and composers each month between April and November. Nurturing the work of artists of all ages, from a range of cultures and communities, and in all stages of their artistic career, the Colony offers comfortable private rooms, private studio spaces, and ample time to work in a quiet, pastoral atmosphere.

Their facilities are located on the property where poet Edna St. Vincent Millay lived at the height of her literary career. They have a seven-acre campus with meadows and forest in Austerlitz, New York, USA, adjacent to the former Millay home and gardens and the exquisite Harvey Mountain State Forest.

The Millay Colony provides food for breakfasts, lunches, and weekend dinners, and will happily respond to vegetarian or other dietary requirements. On Monday through Friday evening meals are prepared by an excellent local chef. There is no obligation, however, to be present with the group at the prepared evening meal. They have a share in a nearby bio-dynamic farm and so the bulk of their food is local and farm-fresh.

To Apply: NEW: Online application submission for 2011 Residency Program. http://millaycolony.submishmash.com/submit Application submissions via mail also available for 2011 season. http://www.millaycolony.org/apply

For more info and application details, visit their website. Applications must be postmarked or posted by October 1, 2010 for a month-long residency in 2011. They have other deadlines for other sessions, so if you miss this one, there are others. For more information, please call our Residency Director Calliope Nicholas at 518-392-3103 or email at residency@millaycolony.org.

***Note from Mirabee: The landscape at Millay is stunning and an extra perk: this residency is amazingly accessible for disabled artists.

**Note from Mirabee: unlike most of the ones I post about, this is not a free residency and they will not accept you if you don't have funding at time of application. So if you are interested, you should try to get funding before you apply.

(ALL) New Pacific Studio Residencies: New Pacific Studio offers two residency sites, one in New Zealand, the other in Vallejo, near San Francisco, USA. (Note: Neither are free residencies although the cost per week looks reasonable and the locations are lovely):
New Pacific Studio Residency at Mount Bruce, New Zealand:
In the lower North Island, New Zealand, is now open year-round to accept applications for resident fellowships from artists, writers and environmentalists in New Zealand and elsewhere. Fellows have many opportunities to interact with the local arts community: regular open days, exhibitions, radio talks, schools sessions, workshops etc.

Pacific Writers’ Cottage Residency, Vallejo: One of the oldest houses in Vallejo, this charming relocated 1850s cottage once on Rancho Suscol was first occupied by engraver Lucien Curtis and has been home to many Mare Island skilled craftsmen including a sail maker, a machinist, and a carriage builder.
