The Barn at Lee accepts applicants from everywhere, however, we reimburse the resident’s transportation costs up to $100.

The Barn at Lee provides residencies to emerging artists working in the field of Performing Arts. The Emerging Artist has an notoriously elusive definition, but we like many aspects of this definition of an Early Career Artist from the Jerome Foundation:

Eligible artists for our programs are in the early stages of their creative development with 2-10 years of generative experience, and:

-have a focused direction and goals, even while still developing their artistic “voice”

-have yet to be substantially celebrated within their field, the media, funding circles or the public at large

-are vocational (as opposed to avocational, academic, amateur or educational) artists

This residency is open to artists working on projects at all stages of development. There is no deliverable requirement of a resident artist. The Barn at Lee asks only that a portion of the residency be open for public interaction. The nature of this opening is flexible and will be designed for the benefit of both the Lee community and the working artist.

Visions of Nature
Online Exhibition
April 25, 2024 - May 25, 2024

Artistic engagement with nature brings us near to the beginnings of art as such. These visions always capture a human presence, forming a context for people to tell stories and find meaning in the world they inhabit and, to an ever greater degree, shape. Visions of nature carry a degree of idealization: the enduring vision of a classical Arcadia, the personified worlds of animism and mythology, and site of struggle between purity and corruption. Animals, from depictions of Aurochs in early cave paintings to Picasso’s Boy Leading a Horse (1906), also speak to the highly personal yet fraught relationship between humans and other living creatures. Many of the great artists of history — Vincent van Gogh’s trees, Hokusai’s waves, Albrecht Dürer’s Rhinoceros — had a particular vision of nature that drove their work forward. Site:Brooklyn is looking for work that engages in this tradition, while developing new and innovative forms of expressions.

The Mudhouse is an artist residency located in the village of Agios Ioannis on the Island of Crete, Greece. The Mudhouse Residency aims to provide artists inspiration derived from an engagement with the stunning natural beauty of its environment, solitude to foster creative growth, an artistic community to enrich professional practices, and an immersive cultural experience within a profoundly rich historical context.

Started in 2015 and now in its eighth year, the Mudhouse offers three two-week sessions each summer for international contemporary artists working across a manifold of artistic disciplines, from paint, to ceramics, to experimental film. We welcome visual artists, writers, musicians and performers. Hosting an incredibly diverse, multicultural, multi-generational cohort of artists in each residency session, the Mudhouse encourages dialogues across traditional boundaries. Artists are invited to present a slideshow, lecture or reading on their work for fellow residents, as well as participate in a closing exhibition at the Residency’s conclusion that will be installed jointly in the ruins around the village and the exhibition space. The artists' time is their own, to focus on their art practice and explore the rich history of southern Crete and the Minoan civilization.

As an artist founded and operated residency, the Mudhouse’s ethos continues to be to provide an increasingly diverse group of artists an affordable, international residency experience. Through the support of individual donors and foundations, the Mudhouse is able to extend a Partial Fellowship to every artist who attends, and three Full Fellowships. All fellowships are awarded through a competitive, juried process. Determined by a selection committee, Full fellowships will be based on the merit of the applicants work while Partial fellowships will be need based.

Partial fellowship recipients are asked to pay a reduced fee to attend. While the overall cost of The Mudhouse Residency is $4,200 per artist for the Summer 2024, the residency fee for partially funded fellowships is $3200. Artists who demonstrate additional financial need may request further financial assistance of a 25% discount, bringing the residency fee to $2600.

The Mudhouse Residency includes the accommodations of the artist for the duration of the Residency, as well as lunch and dinner served family style each day within the village.
