Job Details

DESCRIPTION

The Barn at Lee's residencies are held in Lee, Massachusetts in the Berkshires for 7-10 days. Residents are provided room and board, working space, and a stipend of $600 for the duration of their time in Lee. Residents also have the option to invite up to 3 collaborators for any portion of the residency.

These residencies support emerging artists working in the field of Performing Arts. The Emerging Artist has a notoriously elusive definition, but we like many aspects of this definition of an Early Career Artist from the Jerome Foundation:

Eligible artists for our programs are in the early stages of their creative development with 2-10 years of generative experience, and:

have a focused direction and goals, even while still developing their artistic “voice”
have yet to be substantially celebrated within their field, the media, funding circles or the public at large
are vocational (as opposed to avocational, academic, amateur or educational) artists

The spring and fall residencies are open to artists working on projects at all stages of development. There is no deliverable requirement of a resident artist. The Barn at Lee only asks that a portion of the residency be open for public interaction. The nature of this opening is flexible and will be designed for the benefit of both the Lee community and the working artist. We offer one residency in the spring (roughly the first full week of June) and one in the fall (roughly the second full week of October).

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

APPLICATIONS WILL CLOSE AT 11:59PM ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 2025.
