2012 Summer Residency Program - Call for Entries

Artists and writers who live in New York State (including NYC) are invited to apply for month-long summer residencies. Applications must be postmarked by Saturday, January 14, 2012.

The 2012 categories are:

1) Poetry

2) Creative Non-Fiction

3) Photography (digital or film)

4) Painting / Sculpture / Visual Art

There are four (4) month-long sessions in 2012 that occur between May and September. Five artists are in residence each session: two writers, two visual artists, and one photographer.

Each artist has a private bath and apartment with ample workspace, including large studios for visual artists and a darkroom for photographers working in film. All studios include a balcony or a patio.

Our colony chef serves delicious vegetarian meals on weeknights, and the kitchen is kept stocked with basic supplies so residents may make other meals for themselves.

A $500 stipend is provided to help defray travel costs.

The stunning 200-acre colony is located just a few miles outside of downtown Ithaca in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes Region.
