Program Description

Bethany Arts Community designs its residencies to provide an environment where artists can work near each other, creating opportunities for cross-pollination, collaboration, and connection. Residents will find both solitude and community with a small cohort of other poets and artists sharing the residency. Residents will be surrounded by opportunities for uninhibited creativity during their time at BAC, in the form of other Poetry Residents, local studio artists, BAC staff and board members, those presenting programs on campus, and more! The Poetry Residency is for one week: Monday, March 31 to Monday, April 7, 2025. Artists are provided room & board, a private studio, 3 basic meals a day (see note below)*, and a $225 stipend upon completion of the residency. Artist is responsible for transportation to and from BAC and any supplies or materials needed for their practice. We ask that you only apply if you can stay for the entire length of this residency.
