Marble House Project AIR 2027

Associated Residency Program

Marble House Project is a multi-disciplinary artist residency program that fosters collaboration & the exchange of ideas by providing an environment for artists across disciplines to live and work side by side. Each session hosts eight artists and is carefully curated to bring together a group of creative workers across various disciplines, who might collaborate and learn from one another. Applications  include but is not limited to visual arts, writing, choreography, music composition and performance. There are four sessions that last for three weeks  and one session devoted to ecology than runs for two weeks.   Our season runs from April through October.  Artists are selected based on the quality and commitment to their work and their project description. It is important to note that each session is specifically curated in order to maximize the art residency experience for each individual artist. All residents live together in the historic, eight-bedroom Manley-Lefevre house, which is organized around a responsibilities-sharing system, highlighting sustainability and fostering community. We provide fresh ingredients and all residents will be asked to cook dinner (in a pair) three to four times over the course of their residency. Although not required, our hope is that you will spend some time in the garden alongside your studio practice. At the end of each session, artists are invited to present their work at ARTSeed. This takes the form of talks, performances and open studios.  In 2027 we will also host our family friendly residency and a residency specifically geared towards ecology.  These are specific dates within the application.
