Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts

Artists and WritersUnited States2-10 Employees

The Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts is dedicated to supporting the visual and literary artists of New York State. To that end, it offers free, month-long and two-week residencies from May through September on its beautiful 200-acre colony just east of downtown Ithaca, NY. 

Residencies provide time for inspiration, a quiet studio, a beautiful setting, and a stimulating community of artists working in diverse disciplines. Artists and writers who are New York State residents are invited to apply. Stipends are provided. Dinners are prepared by our colony chef five nights a week. There are five artists in each session: one photographer, two writers, and two painters, sculptors or other visual artists. Former residents are eligible to re-apply every other year.

Saltonstall's five private apartments and studios are available for short-term, do-it-yourself retreats to any New York State artist or writer between October and April for a highly subsidized rate. A variety of public readings and exhibitions featuring residency alumni are also offered periodically throughout the year.
