Middlebrook Arts Research + Residency Center

Middlebrook Arts Research + Residency Center (MAR+RC) is a vibrant arts center in Jefferson, NY, focused on creating interesting and accessible arts programming.

Offered programs include a robust artist-in-residence program, ongoing performance programming steered by resident artists, an annual performance series by BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance, dance classes for adult and youth students, and health/wellness retreats. We invite creators through various mediums within the performing, literary, and visual arts to participate in our programs. Housing for visiting artists includes private and shared sleeping spaces, a lounge area, restroom(s), and a laundry facility. Residents have access to all of the Center’s amenities, including a stocked and accessible kitchen, dance studio space, office space with desks and library, an artists’ studio, and an indoor theatre (under renovation) that will serve as a performance venue, gallery, and event platform. This multifaceted space serves as a community event rental site, limiting the rentals to wedding receptions, networking events, and community and corporate events.
