Soaring Gardens Artists Retreat

Soaring Gardens Artists Retreat in Laceyville, Pennsylvania, offers visual artists, writers, composers, and instrumentalists three-week residencies to create in tranquility. There are no fees to apply or to attend. Nestled in the Endless Mountains Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania and surrounded by working farms, residencies are available from mid-May through October. In addition to unencumbered studio time, group dinners are offered once a week so residents have a chance to get to know each other. An additional activity, which most residents enjoy, is a nature walk led by our residency manager, who is also
one of our horticulturists.

Residencies are located either in a farmhouse with an adjacent studio building, or in a small church with combined live/workspace, a ten-minute drive from the farmhouse. The farmhouse can host up to five residents per session, each with their own bedroom. The church can comfortably host one or two artists with their own workspace. All facilities are equipped with heat and air conditioning.

Since residents in the farmhouse share the common living spaces, we encourage artists to apply as a group (a combination of artistic disciplines is fine), although applications from individuals are also welcome.

There is no application fee and no fee to attend.
