Short Description:
The Graves Mill Farm Residency is a fully funded retreat for writers and visual artists at all stages of their careers. It seeks to inspire participants through the power of the natural world, and to foster creativity through both solitude and community.
We seek artists who are dedicated to their craft, and are eager to engage with nature. Participants can expect to work privately through the day, while also interacting daily in our communal spaces and at evening meals. Everyone is invited — but not required — to share their work. Participants are encouraged explore the 2,000-acre farm property, and adjoining forests, for inspiration in their work.
