# 10-Day Summer Residencies

**Hosted by:** The Sable Project

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Stockbridge, VT, United States | **Deadline:** April 4, 2026

## About This Program

The Sable Project Summer Residencies are for adult artists of all ages and disciplines seeking space, time, and a place to focus on their art. We are specifically looking for artists confident in their creative processes, comfortable living in community, and willing to camp out for the duration of their stay.

Sable is off-the-grid! We live in the woods in Vermont's Green Mountains. There is no electricity or wifi. We invite Artists to depart from their often hyper-connected routines in order to engage deeply with their surroundings and cultivate a community of care with one another.

Our Summer Residencies take place in June, July and September. Our 2026 Summer Residency dates are: June 4 - 14, June 18 - 28, July 2 - 12, July 16 - 26, September 3 -13.

The residency program is off-grid, environmentally engaged, grounded by physical work, and collaborative. It is designed to foster creativity by removing some of the obstacles that keep artists from creating- space, time, and supplies- while providing new influences in an inspiring environment. Each season is unique and each residency experience evolves through the input of everyone present.
