The Scholars Residency is a rare opportunity for scholars working in all disciplines to fully immerse themselves in our collaborative  environment conducive to creativity.  We invite applications from accomplished professors, graduate students, researchers and thinkers who would benefit from a block of time and space at Craigardan to create new work, complete a project, conduct research, teach a course, write or simply think amid the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains.

The primary aim of the residency is to provide high quality time and space for scholars to pursue independent projects that push the boundaries of their knowledge.  In addition to their own private cabin, residents have access to a variety of shared studio and outdoor spaces on our new, in-process mountainside campus.  Common themes acknowledge the importance of place; such as the intimacy of Craigardan's multi-disciplinary community, the ecology of the Adirondacks, the resurgence of small sustainable farms in the Champlain Valley, or the challenges of rural politics, for example.  Residents are encouraged to exchange ideas and engage with the creative energy of the staff and fellow residents, explore the surrounding Adirondack region, and share their knowledge and work with the local community.

Responsibilities:

• Present a talk or other presentation to program participants and the public as part of the community lecture series.

Group Residencies are also available for collaborators.  Please email us to receive guidance on the best way to apply.  

PLEASE NOTE:  All participants are responsible for their own transportation needs and any personal materials or expenses.
