The Sue-Je Lee Gage Sunlit Residency for Social Justice and Human Rights

Ithaca, NY, United States

Sunlit Residency honors the legacy of anthropologist Dr. Sue-Je Lee Gage, pioneering scholar of Amerasians in South Korea, change maker, beloved teacher and mentor whose talents and interests spanned the fine arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. Scholars, artists, writers, and activists are invited to apply for short-term residencies in her Ithaca, NY home to pursue projects related to the passions and interests that motivated Dr. Gage’s work for social justice, human rights, and the arts on a broad scale.

Sunlit Residency offers short-term residencies year-round as well as a fully subsidized competitive summer residency program at Dr. Sue-Je Gage's home, located just outside the Ithaca city limits and the Cornell University campus. Sunlit provides each resident with a private bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, communal, and studio space. Residents will be able to focus on their projects at multiple stages of completion in this comfortable, supportive, and inspiring environment. In addition, Sunlit Residency will provide residents with  library privileges at Ithaca College; they can also access the libraries at Cornell University for a small fee. Residents are also free to pursue opportunities for community engagement during their stay.

BCA Playwright Residency

Boston, MA, United States

The BCA Playwright Residency supports rising playwrights by providing space to write, rehearse, and workshop a new work. Support is tailored to the selected artist, including mentorship, professional development to create, produce and reach expanded audiences, as well as further their creative process. This program aims to provide a container for playwrights who are invested in developing experimental work that sheds light on underrepresented stories and narratives. The playwright must create a new work while in the program. 

As part of the program, the awarded playwrights will have access to free space for a mid-year workshop, as well as a final staged reading. The playwrights will have access to a studio space located in the BCA Artist Studios Building, located at 551 Tremont St. The studio space will be shared between both playwrights, and it is already equipped with desks, chairs and power. The playwrights will also be able to work with up to 5 collaborators for the mid-year workshop and final stage reading.

ARTISTIC ETHOS:

Our goal is to gather a diverse and inclusive community of artists for the purpose of supporting innovative work across disciplines, connecting artists with peers and resources, and providing a vibrant platform for new art in Boston. 

Applications will be evaluated based on artist’s demonstration of:

  • Experimentation. Does the artist’s practice display innovation, openness to new ideas, perspectives, and techniques?
  • Responsiveness. Is the artist’s work releva

Ceramic Residency at Castle Hill

Truro, MA, United States

Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill offers 3 month Ceramic Artist in Residence Programs during the winter, which are designed to provide time and facilities to artists looking for a concentrated creative experience. Our goal is to give driven and self-directed artists the opportunity to enhance their personal, intellectual and creative growth by expanding their body of work or creating a specific project. Free from the distractions of every day pressures, residents will be given time and space to concentrate on their work in the beautiful setting of Cape Cod and will be awarded a shared exhibition in the Castle Hill gallery upon completion of their stay.

The residencies run from January to March  and include housing and studio space for $500/month. Residents will be selected based on a review of application materials. Each resident will have personal workspace in a shared studio and open access to the communal ceramics studio and kilns. Materials and firing fees are payable through Castle Hill at a discounted rate. Residents will have a furnished apartment equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, laundry and internet access. It is highly recommended to have a car, as there is limited public transportation and no grocery store within walking distance.

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.
