Residencies in July, August, and September, 2027

Hypatia-in-the-Woods offers women in the arts, academe, and entrepreneurship one- to three-week residencies during July, August, and September 2027. Residents stay at Holly House, a cottage in Pacific Northwest second-growth forest on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, with solitude and time for creative work. Residents may give a public reading, book signing, showing of works, or performance.

Open to women only, working in the arts, academe, or entrepreneurship. Residencies last one to three weeks. Listed artistic fields include applied arts, architecture, curating, dance, design, digital, drawing, education, fashion, film, installation, interdisciplinary, painting, performance, photography, printmaking, public art, research, sculpture, social practice, sound art, textiles, video, visual arts, and writing. Application materials listed are artwork/portfolio and application forms. The application fee is $20; no participation fee or additional fees are listed. Residents are responsible for transportation to Holly House, food, and other expenses of the trip. Application review takes approximately five to seven weeks after the application period closes, and the residency coordinator contacts applicants after consideration. Public readings, book signings, showings of works, and performances are offered as opportunities rather than stated obligations.
