residency program 2025
Marble House Project accepts approximately 60 artists from both the United States and abroad. Each session hosts eight artists and is carefully curated to bring together a group of creative workers across various disciplines, who might collaborate and learn from one another.
Applications are accepted in all creative fields. This includes but is not limited to visual arts, writing, choreography, music composition and performance. There are six sessions and each session lasts for three weeks. The artist-in-residence season runs from mid-April through the end of October. Each session has 8 artists, creating small, dynamic, interactive groups. Residents are selected by a jury process composed of past-years artist residents, staff and outside experts. Artists are selected based on the quality and commitment to their work and their project description. It is important to note that each session is specifically curated in order to maximize the art residency experience for each individual artist.
All residents live together in the historic, eight-bedroom Manley-Lefevre house, which is organized around a responsibilities-sharing system, highlighting sustainability and fostering community.We provide fresh ingredients and all residents will be asked to cook dinner (in a pair) three to four times over the course of their residency. Group dinners take place each night Monday-Friday and feature food from our organic garden. As a resident, you are invited to help with planting, harvesting, and maintenance. Although not required, our hope is that you will spend some time in the garden alongside your studio practice. At the end of each session, artists are asked to present their work at ART SEED. This takes the form of talks, performances and open studios. Again, participating in ART SEED is optional but allows our local rural community a glimpse into the process of artmaking.
