Since 1973, Millay Arts has welcomed over 3000 exceptional multidisciplinary poets, writers, composers, visual and performance artists to Steepletop, the historic estate of Pulitzer prize-winning poet/activist Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Offering the gift of time and space, our fully-subsidized Core Residency (applicants selected by blind jury) provides groceries, chef-prepared communal suppers, private bedrooms and studios as well as shared living spaces, from April-November annually. Our Steepletop Residency, partially subsidized, allows for those with private/institutional support for stays (bypassing the blind jury process), and runs concurrently with the Core Residency. Our Wintertide Rustic Retreat is open to the public for self-directed residencies from mid-December through March. Our 11-acre campus features serene meadows and wooded trails.
Our alumni are consistently recognized with international honors, including Pulitzer, Lambda Literary, Whitbread and Gotham Book Prizes, National Book and MacArthur "Genius" Awards, Guggenheim Fellowships, and others.
