Common/Communal Spaces Information

Our retreats and residency utilize the private and public albergues and casa rurales all along the Camino de Santiago.  Albergues are hostels which are specifically designed to serve pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The basic bed set-up is modest with a simple bed or bunk and shared bath facilities.  Albergues are only available to pilgrims, meaning a pilgrim credential is required to check-in. This guarantees that pilgrims will be sleeping among like-minded (and equally tired) folks with whom you are united in the shared pilgrimage experience. 

The tradition of albergues (or refugios or hospitales) dates back to the beginning of the Way of Saint James. The ethic is to provide rest and sustenance for the weary pilgrim.

Headwaters Residency

Bethlehem, NH, United States

For our inaugural residency season, Headwaters is inviting applications from writers and artists of all experience level. Apply for a week-long residency solo or with a creative partner. Come to the heart of the White Mountains to nurture the sources of your creativity and let this residency influence your projects the way the headwaters of these mountain streams carve the landscape on their way to the Atlantic.

The White Mountains of New Hampshire have forever inspired artists and writers. Check out Thomas Cole or Henry David Thoreau. But the art scene is alive and evolving. While you'll find yourself in a rural outpost, you can walk from the house to downtown Bethlehem, NH, where you can visit the local art gallery, see a concert at the small theater, or pour through pages at our iconic bookstore. A short drive will take you to countless trailheads. We (and previous residents) will recommend our favorite places to strike inspiration: the best river sits, sunset spots, jaw-dropping views, hikes, skis, and trees. We'll provide some hiking basics to get you outside (maps, guidebooks, poles, headlamps).

Replenish Residencies at A Studio in the Woods

New Orleans, LA, United States

Replenish Residencies provides 1-2 week restorative visioning retreats to local BIPOC artists and culture bearers; the heart of New Orleans culture. In light of the many racial disparities still present in our society at large and the arts economy specifically, we offer these residencies to provide time to rest and restore, vision, and create. The call is open to BIPOC artists and culture bearers from the Greater New Orleans area who have not attended a residency before. 

The Studio focuses on interrelated areas of programming, including residencies for artists and scholars, forest restoration, and science-inspired art engagement for children and adults. We center interdependence, wonder, care, and inclusivity in all of our work and believe the essential and transformative powers of art and the natural environment are central to a thriving future for all.

Currently, the facility can accommodate three resident artists at a time. Living quarters are located in two separate buildings, the Main House and the Writer’s Cabin. Each artist is assigned a private bedroom, bathroom and studio space. Residents share a common living space and kitchen where they prepare their own meals. The Main House in a unique building lovingly constructed from salvaged lumber by our founders in the 1970s. It has been updated throughout the years and is now fully air-conditioned, but has its own quirks. The newest addition to our campus, the Writer’s Cabin, was constructed in 2019. WiFi is available throughout the compound but we are in a rural area and sometimes experience intermittent outages. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate anyone under 18 overnight, including children of residents.

Artist Residency at Edgewood Farm

Truro, MA, United States

The artist residency program of The Truro Center for the Arts at Edgewood Farm is a program that began in 2017, developed to encourage the development of creative, intellectual and personal growth of emerging and established artists. It works in collaboration with our distinguished educational facility at the Castle Hill Campus, whose mission is to foster the arts for the local and regional community.  The Truro Center for the Arts at Edgewood Farm will focus on the development of “the artistic process”  by providing artists a beautiful place to work for an extended period of time.  The residency program at Edgewood Farm will strive to bring a broader artistic cultural conversation to the local community and economy of the Outer Cape.

The Truro Center for the Arts at Edgewood Farm sits on  nearly 7.5 bucolic acres adjacent to the Cape Cod National Seashore, the Atlantic Ocean and town conservation land.  The residency provides artists an opportunity to be in a quiet and contemplative place, within walking distance to the dunes, natural forests, bike trails, ponds and spectacular beaches that are rated among the top ten most beautiful in the world.  At a time when the natural environment is at risk, Edgewood Farm will offer artists a place to regain a connection to the natural world and draw inspiration from the environment.  

Approximately 3-6 artists a month will have uninterrupted time to work in 4 studios.

ART-14 Residency Program

Patton, PA, United States

The ART-14 Residency, in conjunction with the L.a. Studio community’s art outreach and programming, was founded in 2023 as a haven for artists looking for a comfortable, collaborative, and creative space to explore their art and concentrate on their projects, while our local community simultaneously benefits from the activity at L.a. Studio.

We are located in the renovated St. Mary’s School building (constructed in 1912), which features 12-foot high ceilings and large 7-foot windows, with plenty of natural daylight and spacious workspaces for various artistic disciplines. Artists have 24h access to designated studio spaces including ceramics, stained glass, woodworking, and 3D printing/laser engraving equipment, as well as tons of open studio space for painting, sculpting, writing/composing, research, recording, and whatever else our artists can dream. Residents reside in newly renovated apartments conveniently located above the studios, on the second floor. Private rooms are available with shared access to kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and a fully equipped gym. Find more information on our website (lastudio.org)!

Additional Eligibility Information

Our application is open on a rolling basis, year-round, for residencies of a minimum stay of 2 weeks. Residency and scholarship applications are reviewed systematically by our selection committee and artists are notified within 14 days. If you have not heard from us, please feel free to reach out. Our goal is to accommodate as many artists as possible as will contribute to and benefit from the creative and community-oriented spirit of our program and therefore do not have any major eligibility requirements. 

That being said, we prefer applicants are ages 21+, as one of our team members makes wine and will sometimes share it with our residents. We have no restrictions on nationality and are happy to support all applicants with visa invitation letters, though unfortunately haven’t had a ton of success with our prior letters of support. Of note, due to the historic nature of our facilities, we are not ADA accessible and there are stairs to access the building.

Artists can find more information and apply on our website! (https://www.lastudio.org/art14-residency/residency)

Artists provide their own food, and there are several restaurants, bars, and groceries within walking distance of L.a. Studio. Anyone hoping to accompany resident artists should also complete an application, as we expect anyone staying with us to influence, contribute to, and commit themselves to the creative environment we hope to curate as part of the ART14 Residency. Per our responsibility to create a comfortable living arrangement for all guests and artists accessing shared facilities, additional occupants looking to share any of the suite bedrooms will incur a 50% additional charge per extra person. We are unfortunately not ADA accessible. We do not allow pets.

Additional Accessibility Information

Tofte Lake Center (TLC) strives to be as accessible and accommodating as possible for all individuals and recognizes that this work is ongoing. TLC has one cabin that is wheelchair accessible, including a ramp to the building, two first floor bedrooms, and an accessible bathroom (toilet and shower). Our performing and visual arts studios have ramps as well. TLC sits on a rustic campus and therefore there are some physical challenges to be aware of for those with limited mobility, most notably uneven ground and rugged terrain (gravel paths and some hills). We provide reasonable accommodations upon individual request to the best of our ability. If you have specific access needs or questions please contact our managing director, Riley Burns, at riley@toftelake.org
