AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Millay Colony for the Arts Deadline for 2010 Residencies: October 1,
2009



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.

Our facilities are located on the property where the poet Edna St.
Vincent Millay lived at the height of her literary career. We 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.

Unlike other residency programs, we are small in size, and we do not
emphasize social events or visits from professionals in the field. We
believe we can offer artists nothing more precious than the chance to
work, and we provide everything an artist needs to organize her/his
time for maximum productivity.

Our residents are chosen, anonymously, by a panel of jurors in their
field. The Millay Colony accepts residents on the basis of artistic
merit. Our admissions policy does not discriminate with regard to
race, sex, sexual preference, religion, marital status, disability or
nation of origin.

To Apply:

Applicants must submit a Millay Colony for the Arts application. In
addition, we require an artistic statement and work samples. Details
