Maine Creative Residency

Propose a dream for a time to rest and recharge this Summer with a selected group of creatives.  There are 5 spots/rooms available at different rates.  See rates and how to send a proposal below.

Whether you're a group of artists looking for a place to reflect or rest from your work, or a group of small creative business owners looking to recharge, this 1854 home in beautiful midcoast maine can be your opportunity for a precious re-set.  Each room has a tiny desk, and there is an option to add use of creative flex space to work across the street in our neighbors old brick school house on the river.  I can connect you with local artists and activities if you'd like some direction.

​

Write, photograph, dance, sketch, sleep, fish, kayak, swim, sail, hike, brainstorm, inspire, refine, rest, nap, cook, play music, bike, picnic, drive tour....

FEES

We differentiate the value of the residency fees according to the characteristics of the accommodation. By differentiating the fees we are establishing a more fair criterion between residents, and also enabling those with fewer incomes to come to our place.

Work Exchange suggestions welcome! (house repair, landscaping, etc)

Studio Space in the Brick School

circa 1857 Brick school across the street from the house, with tidal river access and views, is offering an option to have work space.  Cost and details can be discussed, as the space is 2 floors that are currently flex use, but situations can be discussed for each artist.  Beautiful large windows and high ceilings.  In your inquiry form please let us know what type of space you would suit you, and we will be in touch with working out details and cost.  We customize the space for your needs, wherever possible!  See floor plan here.
