Sunlit Residency honors the legacy of anthropologist Dr. Sue-Je Lee Gage, pioneering scholar of Amerasians in South Korea, change maker, beloved teacher and mentor whose talents and interests spanned the fine arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. Scholars, artists, writers, and activists are invited to apply for short-term residencies in her Ithaca, NY home to pursue projects related to the passions and interests that motivated Dr. Gage’s work for social justice, human rights, and the arts on a broad scale.Sunlit Residency offers short-term residencies year-round as well as a fully subsidized competitive summer residency program at Dr. Sue-Je Gage's home, located just outside the Ithaca city limits and the Cornell University campus.
Sunlit provides each resident with a private bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, communal, and studio space. Residents will be able to focus on their projects at multiple stages of completion in this comfortable, supportive, and inspiring environment. In addition, Sunlit Residency will provide residents with library privileges at Ithaca College; they can also access the libraries at Cornell University for a small fee. Residents are also free to pursue opportunities for community engagement during their stay.
