The Edward F. Albee Foundation Residency

The Edward F. Albee Foundation maintains the William Flanagan Memorial Creative Persons Center (better known as “The Barn”) in Montauk, Long Island, New York, as a residence for writers and visual artists of all media.  Due to extensive, site-wide renovations, we are proud to be completely ADA-accessible and open our doors to all creative people.

The Center is open year-round (with the exception of December, when it is closed for general maintenance and holidays), and can accommodate four creative persons at a time. Residencies are for calendar months only.  The standards for admission are, simply, talent and need.

Month-long residencies will be available starting in January, 2025 and run through June for our Winter/Spring period. We are accepting applications for that period as of right now! (A second application period for the Summer/Fall period will be made available at a later date.)

The application window for the Winter/Spring period will be open until midnight, November 1st, 2024 (aka: very, very late night on October 31st).
