Edward F. Albee Foundation

The Edward F. Albee Foundation has maintained the William Flanagan Memorial Creative Persons Center (better known as "The Barn") in Montauk, on Long Island in New York, for almost 60 years, which exists to serve writers and visual artists from all walks of life, by providing time and space in which to work without disturbance. Using only talent and need as the criteria for selection, the Foundation invites any and all artists to apply.  Writers and visual artists are offered individual en-suite bedrooms and separate working studios for one-month periods. Residents are responsible for their food, travel, and other expenses. The environment is simple and communal. The Center is open almost year-round and can accommodate four creative persons at a time.  Applications are accepted bi-annually.
