Eighth House is an interdisciplinary arts residency program for visual artists, curators, and writers nestled in the forest of Vermont. We are a restorative, non-transactional residency and our mission is to support artists by providing a nourishing and inspiring environment to nurture the creative process. An artist-directed experience, Eighth House encourages restorative practices, personal development, creative experimentation, and cultivation of new ideas within a unique rural setting.
Eighth House provides full funding for each artist, regardless of need. We are committed to eliminating any financial barriers for artists to participate in our program. We offer full room and board, travel to and from the residency, materials or supplies needed for production, and shipment of works back to the artist’s studio. Artists are provided with their own private fully equipped cabin, which includes a studio space.
Founded in 2021, Eighth House is now in its 4th successful year of operation and has hosted over 20 artists, curators, and writers from around the world.
