Artists, writers and creative folk can apply for a self-directed residency or creative retreat on our Hartley Hill commons in Westminster, VT. We only accept applications during our annual open call periods, but proposals for retreats and residencies can also be submitted year round through our Proposal Form or contacting us at [email protected].

During a self-directed residency at In Situ Polyculture, focus and work at your own pace, rest in the peaceful rural setting, and enjoy being in a small creative cohort with access to the beautiful land and wonderful local communities of Saxtons River, Bellows Falls, and other surrounding Southern Vermont villages.

Both individual artist applicants and collaborative groups submit a single application, below. Contact information will be collected for all group members, but no need for multiple applications! Supporting the work of creative groups and collaborators is a part of our mission.

Between 2-6 artists can work on-site at a time; 2-3 if the artists are solo workers with great need for private space, and up to 6 if those in the group are collaborators, looking for a more social experience, and enjoy shared accommodations.
