DUE 9/15: Hill House Residency Application Deadline from ISLAND

ISLAND is proud to announce the second application round of the Hill House Residency Program, providing dedicated time and space for writers at any stage in their career and emerging musicians. Applications for round two, which will run from November 2010 to April 2011, are due September 15.

The goal of the Hill House Residency is to support talented emerging songwriters and writers at all stages of their career with a two, three or four week stay in a semi-secluded log cabin near East Jordan, Michigan. Room and board is covered along with a selection of instruments and some basic recording gear. The musician residency also offers performance opportunities and a small stipend to aid in professional development. Musicians and writers age 21 and older from anywhere in the world may apply. Solo writers as well as teams of up to four people may apply. There is a $20 application fee.

Hill House resident Beth Nelson reflected, “The abundant tranquility of the Hill House permitted me to become more aware of who I am: who I am as a writer, a woman, and a human being... I cannot thank you enough for this opportunity."

ISLAND (Institute for Sustainable Living, Art & Natural Design) is a non-profit arts and ecology center located in Bellaire, MI. To learn more about ISLAND and the Hill House Residency, or to download an application, please visit http://www.ARTmeetsEARTH.org.
