Each year, the Wilson College Fine Arts & Dance Department sponsors an artist residency program that provides free housing and studio space for a week. The residency takes place on Wilson’s beautiful campus in South Central Pennsylvania (see page 2 for more details). This year, we are accepting applications for:

• 2 Poets or Performance-based Writers (send 10 pages, titles & publication information)
• A Dance Company with no more than 5 members (send link to 10-minute video sample)

Artists-in-Residence are asked to hold an informal showing/presentation/reading of their work following the residency, inviting the greater campus community.
