Millay Colony

There are presently no open calls for applications

Each year the Colony invites 52 individuals for a Millay residency. Decisions are made by subject juries made up of artists, critics and academics. The application deadline has been extended to October 1, 2011.

Your work is presented anonymously to the jury and is considered solely on the merit of your artist's statement and work sample. Please keep these factors in mind as you prepare your application. It is very important you do NOT include your name on your artist statement and work samples, you will be disqualified if they are in the body of work shown to the jurors.

CAREFULLY REVIEW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISCIPLINE YOUR ARE APPLYING UNDER BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE APPLICATION PROCESS

If you have any technical problems or questions with this process, don't hesitate to contact our software vendor's support team:

Collaborations
Submit two separate applications, fees, artist’s statements, only one work sample if applying in the same discipline. If collaborating in two different disciplines, send two work samples. Each discipline will be viewed by separate juries.

Two week residencies
To accommodate artists not able to attend a month-long residency, we offer two two-week sessions in the month of September only:
Session 1 - 9/3-9/16 Session 2 - 9/17-9/30

These sessions function exactly as our popular longer sessions do with private bedrooms/studios and all meals.

TO APPLY: The application process for the two-week residencies is the same as that for the month-long residencies. Apply under your discipline, noting on your application your preference is for the two-week residency and which session is preferred.

Virtual residencies
This new residency is specifically for working artists and/or artists with children who can not spend prolonged time away from home but can benefit from the support of a residency in modified form.

The 'Virtual Resident' would participate in one of The Millay Colony's month-long residencies, staying on the grounds on weekends only and receiving a stipend of $1,000 total to assist in securing time off/childcare/travel to & from Millay Colony on the weekends.

TO APPLY: Apply under your discipline, noting on application preference for the virtual residency and which month preferred.
