Trillium Arts: 2027 Individual Artists Residencies

Associated Residency Program

Trillium Arts envisions an artist residency center where artists of many disciplines can find a creative home away from home, offering secluded space for rejuvenation in a beautiful, remote setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are accepting applications for artists in April and October of 2027. For 2027, Trillium Arts is able to offer a NEW benefit of a $700 stipend to awarded artists. 

Our facilities during the spring and fall months are best suited to the disciplines of literary arts, photography, visual arts and arts administration.  Individual artist residencies are a solo adventure during their time here and your residency will not overlap with other awarded artists.
