Residency Term and Requirements

The residence period is 50 weeks, starting on October 15th in the current year and ending on October 1st in the following year. The general expectation is that the resident will spend their full time in residence involved in their artistic (or other “cultural”) work, since the main purpose of the Trust is the support of such work. Exceptions may be possible in the case of part-time employment or other gainful activity that does not interfere significantly with the main creative purpose of the Trust. These should be discussed in advance with the trustees. The trustees are responsible for all Trust functions and general supervision of the Trust property. Residents are required to sign a formal agreement with the Trust, which lists the responsibilities and rights of each party.
