**If you are interested in learning more about ACRE's COVID protocols and how we are safely operating, please email info@acreresidency.org for an informational document.**
Most residents stay in the sprawling Steuben Lodge, which houses around 40 people and contains a large central area that includes a library with limited wireless internet, breakfast area, computers, printers and scanners for everyone’s use.
The lodge contains 12 two-story rooms that can sleep three-four at a time, each with its own bathroom and kitchenette. Each room opens onto a porch that can be used for outdoor studio space. Residents who prefer to share a bed with a friend or partner can stay in single-bed apartments in a nearby building.
Unfortunately, due to insurance reasons we cannot accommodate anyone under 18, including children of residents. Because of the animals already on the farm, the property owners cannot allow pets to attend.
ACRE is committed to being open and accessible to all artists. We are eager to work with you directly to ensure we will be able to meet your needs. All of our sleeping accommodations and the majority of our facilities are ground-floor accessible. The majority of the common areas including our dining hall/kitchen, main lodge, and library are wheelchair accessible. For more information about accessibility please visit our accessibility page.
Residency Fee
14-Day Session: $700
The residency fee is automatically split into two payments of $350. However, upon request, we are happy to work with residents to create an alternative payment plan of up to 4 payments, if needed. Please note that the first installment of the residency fee is non-refundable, as we may not be able to fill a vacancy with short notice. Residency fees can be paid using credit or debit cards, online check or through online payment services such as Venmo or PayPal. Once accepted you will receive details on how to make payment.
ACRE fundraises throughout the year in order to offer the residency program at a low cost to artists. It costs approximately $1,500 per resident to operate the residency program alone, which does not include full time staff, exhibitions programming or other activities. Additionally, at this time all residency staff members are volunteers, receiving a small stipend.
