Trillium Arts is 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. Our facilities during the fall months are best suited to the disciplines of literary arts, photography, visual arts and arts administration.
Applications are now being accepted for our Individual Artist Residencies for Fall 2026. One week residences are available in the months of September and October.
Individual artists who do not require a rehearsal studio (such as writers and photographers) are encouraged to apply for a one week residency. Performing artists (such as choreographers and theater artists) are also welcome to apply, with the understanding that the Red Barn Studio is seasonal and availability is dependent on weather during the fall months.
Who is eligible? Artists of various disciplines (writers, photographers, visual artists, choreographers) at any stage of their careers are invited to apply. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. There is no application fee.
