The William Steeple Davis Trust Artist Residency was established in 1976 under the will of Mr. Davis with the mission to provide “...a temporary place of abode for persons of good character who are or have been actively engaged in cultural professions, particularly in the arts, and who are in need of a quiet place for rest or creative work and are without adequate funds to provide for such accommodations.”
Applications are accepted from January 1st until April 30th of each calendar year. Once the application has been submitted artists will be notified that it has been received. A short list of applicants will be slated for an interview at the Residence in late June. Zoom interviews will be considered for those unable to travel to Orient. Selection is made soon thereafter, usually by early summer.
