Steep Rock Campus in Connecticut

Calling all photographers: it's time to wake up from your holiday daze and submit your applications to the Steep Rock Arts residency. Applications are due December 31st, so you only have a few days left!

Steep Rock Arts Association is a non-profit organization whose campus is situated on a 100-acre estate in Connecticut where emerging visual artists are provided with time and space to develop their work in a creative environment. From their site:

Residencies are awarded competitively, at no cost, to national and international emerging artists. Applicants are evaluated by a panel that includes a variety of professionals in the art field. Those selected will be awarded an eight week Residency. Each artist will receive a $10,000 stipend to cover the cost of materials and transportation.

That sounds perfect to me, however, this residency may not be for everyone:

All applicants should consider that the residency is an opportunity to have two months in solitude. Residents are on their own for most of the time in a small town. Neighbors are friendly and there are nearby shops—but it is a small, quiet village. Residents should feel comfortable working and living on their own (or with their families).

Applications can be submitted online but remember that they are due by December 31st, so get cracking! Winners will be notified by mid-February.
