Monastery Arts Residency

About

The Monastery Arts Residency, organized by Orein Arts, is a week-long interdisciplinary program for 12-15 artists and writers at Mount Saviour Monastery near Elmira, NY (not West Park), blending solitude, creativity, and monastic community. Residents work independently during the day on over 1,000 acres of grounds, with evenings for group sharing, amid the monks' prayer rhythm; it welcomes all faith backgrounds. Facilities include private rooms, shared meals with monks, a studio for visual artists, library and practice spaces for writers and musicians.
