Applications are accepted from artists from a variety of disciplines: writers, composers, singer-songwriters, visual artists, screenwriters, playwrights, literary translators, curators, art theorists, and professionals working in theatre, dance and film at the conceptualization or research stage of a project. 

Residencies can range anywhere from 1 week, to 3 months, to year-round.  Residents are responsible for residency fee, food and materials.
