The Millay Colony for the Arts

The Millay Colony for the Arts is a multidiscipliinary residency program, now in its 46th year. Each month (some shorter stays are offered), we invite 6-7 visual artists, poets, writers, filmmakers and composers to come create new work away from the distraction of everyday life. Located on the hill at "Steepletop" -- the historic estate of poet/activist Edna St. Vincent Millay -- we are nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires in the Hudson Valley. We provide chef-prepared dinners, groceries, private studios and bedrooms from April-November free of charge on our beautiful campus, surrounded by sylvan woods and idyllic meadows.
