Here's a residency in the US that sounds marvellous. Ledig House International Writers Residency (from Paperback Writer Blog)
Two and a half hours north of New York City in the town of Omi, in the scenic Hudson River Valley
Ledig House provides all meals, and each night a cook prepares dinner.
Deadline for spring session: 20 November 2009
Spring session is March 12-June 4
You'd need to arrange your own travel. There may be a possibility of a travel grant from the arts council.
Read the details here. Includes:
# How did you hear about Ledig House?
# A biographical sketch including publications, performances and writing credits.
# One non-returnable copy of your latest published work. If unpublished, send a ten page sample of your latest work.
# A one page description of the work to be undertaken while at Ledig House.
# One letter of recommendation.
# One self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) for notification. (Non-US applicants are asked to include a sufficient "international postage coupon" in lieu of stamps.)
(this will be hard as these are not for sale in Ireland)
Applicants should specify a preference for the spring or fall session as well as the amount of time desired - no shorter than two weeks and no longer than two months.
Again hard for any artist with a full time job or family commitments or a dog etc.
