In recent years, traditional sources of direct funding for working artists have diminished significantly. Artists’ residency programs now play a vital role in offering support once made available by foundations and government agencies. Hall Farm Center, located on a 221-acre retreat in Southern Vermont, provides fully funded artists’ residency fellowships of up to one month to emerging and established artists working in a variety of media. Residents are provided with their own rooms in a renovated 1830’s farmhouse, private studio space, and all meals. The goal is to foster the careers of writers, visual artists, and performers by providing the time and environment that make the creation of new work possible.
