Residencies & Fellowships

Core Residency | Millay Arts

Hudson Valley, New York

• Late deadline Oct. 8 ($60 fee)
• Fully subsidized; $100 nonrefundable deposit

Six to seven artists across disciplines spend two weeks to a month at Steepletop, the former estate of Edna St. Vincent Millay. Residents get private bedrooms and studios, a black-and-white darkroom, groceries and communal dinners cooked by a staff chef.

A blind jury picks residents, and this round covers stays from April through July 2027. Apply at millayarts.org.
