March 9 is the preferential due date to apply for the limited number of fee-remission assistantships at Taleamor Park artists’ residency.

Taleamor Park offers two-week and longer residencies in an 1854 Italianate farmhouse on a scenic farm near Chicago and Lake Michigan.

Residents live in a lovely 1854 Italianate farmhouse that has four private air-conditioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, two kitchens, a laundry room, two common rooms, a library, a writing nook, and a paper studio.

Vintage outbuildings offer both private and spacious shared studio spaces. Verdant walking trails wind through fields of grain to woods and ponds and scenic vistas.

We welcome artists in all media and generally have a mix of writers and visual artists, with an occasional musician.

The Taleamor Park website includes comments from most of Taleamor Park’s 2017 residents as well as links to their personal websites.

There is a simple online application form, and applications for the residency are accepted so long as places are open.
