Core Residency

Session I: April-July
Session II: August Novemeber

Our historic Core Residency, offered to those selected by our blind jury process, is fully-subsidized. If invited to participate, the only fee is a $100 nonrefundable deposit.

The core residency features a creative cohort of 6-7 multidisciplinary artists, selected through our blind jury process, and includes private bedroom and studio (with bedding/linens), shared living spaces, laundry room, B&W darkroom, and access to Millay facilties.

Groceries and communal dinners provided (prepared by our in-house chef).

As an Artist-in-Residence, it is our hope that your participation as an integral member of a small, supportive and inspirational cohort will forge lifelong friendships as well as professional relationships and future collaborations.

We invite jurors who are practicing professionals as well as alumni; juries generally change between the March and the October deadlines. Therefore, should you plan to apply for both March and October, your work will be seen by different jury memberes.

We use a BLIND jury process — works are judged solely on merit and assigned numbers for clarity — all/any identifying information should be removed from your submission work statement and work sample. 

We are very proud of our long-standing partnerships with a range of individuals and foundations that ensure a rich diversity for our Core Residency program for multidisciplinary artists.

These opportunities honor our partnerships with various organizations. As funding allows, a stipend to offset expenses related to the residency may be offered.
