In particular, we're interested in work that draws on the powers of introspection, storytelling, and/or research; affirms community; reshapes thinking; and/or maybe even delights. You must be 18. We welcome BPOC and LGBTQ+ voices, emerging and established artists, environmentalists, researchers, and practitioners.

Process
​​
-
Complete the Application For Residency using the form below. NOTE: the payment function appears at the end of the form.
-
Provide samples of your work as part of the application.
-
Pay the $25 nonrefundable application fee. We accept payments via Venmo or credit card through this site (scroll WAY down).
-
What kind of samples do we need? For writing: 3-5 pages of poetry, 10 pages of prose (12-point font minimum, double-spaced), or 10 pages of your hybrid form provided in Word or PDF. For photography: 5-10 images in PDF, and a link to your portfolio. For audio works: digital audio files or a link. Name any attached files LAST NAME, FIRST INITIAL_ and then its GENRE (such as Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Hybrid): we'll anonymize it from there. Please do not identify your work by where it has been published. Also-- refrain from long explanations of the work on the work itself; send something that astute readers can make sense of without an extensive preamble. A descriptor is fine (e.g. "excerpt from a novel in progress" or "second in a series of investigative pieces.") Please number your pages! For academic works: a current resume with links to relevant work or articles. No need to try to anonymize.
We look forward to seeing your work.​
