residencies for individual artists october/november 2023

Inspiration. Immersion. Seclusion. Natural Beauty.

Trillium Arts is an artist residency center where artists of many disciplines can find a creative home away from home, offering secluded space for rejuvenation in a beautiful, remote setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our current facilities are best suited to the disciplines of literary arts, photography, visual arts and arts administration.

Individual artists who do not require a rehearsal studio (such as writers and photographers) are encouraged to apply for a one week residency. Performing artists (such as choreographers and theater artists) are also welcome to apply, with the understanding that the Red Barn Studio may be available but for an additional fee starting at $35 per day. Learn more about the Red Barn Studio HERE.

Note that there is ample land and outdoor space available for ideation and research. We are currently unable to accommodate groups or collaboratives on the Trillium property. Individual artist residencies are a solo adventure during their time here and your residency will not overlap with other awarded artists. If an artist would like to bring collaborators, there are a variety of AirBnB’s available for rent in the immediate area. A list of recommended AirBnB’s is available upon request.

Musicians are welcome to apply with the understanding that they must rent the Red Barn Studio for sound rehearsals. Out of consideration for sound issues, sound rehearsals are not permitted in the artist apartment since artist accommodations are currently in the ground floor of a shared house. A Bluetooth speaker is available. No other sound equipment is provided.
