The Edward F. Albee Foundation exists to serve writers and visual artists from all walks of life, by providing time and space in which to work without disturbance. Using only talent and need as the criteria for selection, the Foundation invites any and all artists to apply. The Center is open almost year-round and can accommodate comfortably up to four creative persons at a time. Residencies are for calendar-month periods (with rare, pre-approved exceptions).

Writers and visual artists are offered individual en-suite bedrooms and separate working studios. Domestic residents are provided with a $2500 stipend; Foreign residents are reimbursed for verified expenses up to $2500. The environment is simple and communal. Residents are expected to do their share in maintaining the condition of “The Barn” as well as its peaceful environment. If you have any questions, please reach out to apply@albeefoundation.org!
