Queset House is delighted to host authors, artists, and innovators for residencies up to one week. The residency aimes to both provide an inspiration respite for creative people as well as introduce their creativity to the Easton community through presentations, workshops, or one-on-one meetings.
Eligibility Guidelines:
- Residents must be 18 years of age or older
- Residents must be professionals with public recognition of their expertise.
- Residents must be prepared to stay independently in a room within a functioning community space.
Our program hopes to attract a wide range of creativity so that the Easton community benefits from the presence of writers, poets, sculptors, craftspeople, choreographers, musicians and technology geeks. With that in mind, residents will be accepted based on both eligibility and need for creative diversity.
The Ames Free Library Board of Directors reserves the right to select participants and modify the in-residence program at any time.
