STUDIOS
Other Buildings


Spread out over the Colony's 450 acres of woodland and fields are 32 artist studios. Almost no studio is within sight of another, and each is simply but comfortably furnished with the artists' needs in mind; all have electricity and heat. There are no telephones. Messages are delivered in emergencies. Most Colonists have bedrooms in residences apart from their studios.

Composers' studios include a piano and, like the writers' studios, a writing table. Visual artists' studios have ample wall space, natural northern light, and full-spectrum lighting. The two photography studios have fully equipped darkrooms. Filmmakers with an editing project can request the exclusive use of a 16mm editing suite. Printmakers will find their studio equipped with lithography and plate presses, aquatint equipment, and ample ventilation. All common buildings and many studios offer barrier-free access. A library, which includes an extensive collection of works by Colonists, is available for reference and relaxation purposes.
