Shannaghe

If you're applying for a residency

Eligibility

We welcome writers, poets, scholars, environmentalists, photographers, and others engaged in creative projects or inquiries. In particular, we're interested in work that draws on the powers of introspection, storytelling, observation, and/or research; affirms community; reshapes thinking; and/or maybe even delights. Our hope is to contribute to the region Shannaghe inhabits and the world we all live in.  (In the visual arts, we can accommodate photography, and we're working on welcoming other forms.  If you have a question, contact us.) You must be 18.  We welcome BPOC and LGBTQ+ voices, emerging and established artists, environmentalists, researchers, and practitioners.

​

What will you need to apply?
