Length of time
How much time do you need? A quick visit (when available) or a longer stretch of time to work on your novel or research, start a new direction in your work, or make your art exploring different techniques? A short residency to finish editing, sketch some ideas, move to the next phase of a project, or find longer term lodgings in Antigua? We are flexible and supportive.
Do you need a two-week break while still maintaining your home, job and family, or a three-month change of scenery? This residency's first phase can last up to one month and then you can request longer studio time onsite & we can also assist you in finding other places nearby including apartments, hotels, hostels, etc.
Consider different phases of work that could be accomplished in different spans of time, too—a weekend, a week or more may be all the time you need to paint a new series, sketch new ideas or simple relax and enjoy the creative environment.
