What’s next

Thank you for submitting your forms and completing Next Steps.

We’re so glad you’ll be joining us in-residence this year — and summer is right around the corner. This page will help you prepare in the weeks ahead. From here you can make travel arrangements with staff, pay your residency balance, learn more about studio spaces, and read through the handbook again to help you plan.

RESIDENCY BALANCE PAYMENT

The balance of your residency fee is due 60 days prior to the start of your residency. Pay the balance of your residency fee anytime by clicking the link below and using the “quantity” button to select the number of weeks you’ll be in residence. If you have been awarded a full fellowship, there is no need for a balance payment. If you have any questions with checkout, please give us a call at 518-242-6535. If your balance is not paid as we approach the 60 day mark, we will send you a direct invoice.

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

If you plan to arrive by bus or train and need to arrange pickup/drop off with Craigardan staff, please use the button below to pay the $40 flat fee (covers pick up and drop off). Once we receive your payment, we’ll reach out with confirmation and scheduling details. Note: this payment is refundable if your travel plans change.

Please arrange station transportation with staff at least two weeks prior to your arrival — with our small staff we cannot accommodate last minute plans.

If you do not need transportation from us, but haven’t made your own arrangements yet, now is the time! Please plan to arrive at Craigardan between 2pm and 4pm the first Monday of your residency. More information on arranging travel is found in the Residency Handbook.

RESIDENT HANDBOOK

This is a great time to re-read the resident handbook. It will answer most of your questions and help you prepare and pack for your time in the Adirondacks. Also take a minute to review our Frequently Asked Questions Page.
