Trillium Arts is a residency center in the Blue Ridge Mountains where regional, national and international artists working in various disciplines find time and space to create their best new work. It is a place where creativity flourishes at the confluence of art, community and ecology.
A residency at Trillium is a place and time where artists can go to work on their art. Residencies are research-and-development labs for the arts, providing artists with time, space, and support for the creation of new work and the exploration of new ideas. Supporting artist in the creation of new work is essential to human progress — not as a luxury, not as a leisure activity, but as a vital and necessary force in society. Artists’ residencies are not about retreat; they are about advancement. Advancing creativity. Advancing human progress. Advancing the way we examine the world.
