The focus of Bryn Du’s Artist in Residence program is to enhance local awareness and engagement in the arts by introducing new and varied artists to the Granville community throughout the calendar year. Equally important, the Bryn Du Artist in Residence program will provide an inspirational setting for the creation of artistic works by one artist at a time, of any discipline, over an 8 or 12 week time frame. While in residence, the chosen artist will reside in the Cramer House, the renovated laundry building designed for Artists in Residence, behind the Bryn Du Mansion. Artists may be in any stage of their career to apply and participate in a Bryn Du residency.

Residencies at Bryn Du are open nationwide for artists of all disciplines to apply including but not limited to those in the fields of visual arts, literature, music, theatre, fashion, dance, storytelling and audiovisual studies. Residencies are available in the Winter (January-March), Summer (June-August) and Fall (September-November). Upon applying, artists will specify which seasons they may be interested in and if they prefer an 8 or 12 week residency. 

  
All Artists in Residence are expected to provide a minimum of 2 community engagement activities per month which will be agreed upon by Bryn Du and the artist prior to the residency. Examples might include a community poetry reading, performance on the outdoor stage, artist talk or gallery show. Bryn Du is open to lots of ideas and will happily work with accepted artists to determine engagement activities that are enjoyable to the artist, may advance his or her journey, and engage the community.

Stipends include $2000 for an 8 week residency and $3000 for a 12 week residency.

  
The AIR will receive free housing at the Cramer House, a private AIR cottage on the Bryn Du property, and a stipend (see above). Bryn Du will not charge rent and will pay for all utilities including electric, water, gas and internet. The AIR is responsible for all needed materials, food, paper products, additional consumables and personal items. The Cramer House is equipped with an internet-connected television, desk with black and white printer, queen bed with linens, bath towels, and fully equipped kitchen including coffee maker, kuerig and microwave. A personal sized washer and dryer is available for use in the basement of the same building. As part of the residency, the AIR will also be able to access various buildings and spaces on campus as is needed for working on his or her craft. These must be pre-arranged with staff and are dependent on availability.
