Silo Artist Residency
 
Located on Kirkland Farm in the heart of Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, The Silo Artist Residency offers free use of two spacious and fully equipped rehearsal studios, as well as housing in the Kirkland Farm Guest House, that can easily accommodate  dance companies, as well as other based arts organizations, of up to 12-14 members.  Just 76 miles from NYC and 56 miles from Philadelphia, Silo is highly accessible and offers urban dance artists and professionals in the field of dance an inspiring haven in which they can come together to create, process, rehearse, or just escape the pressures of city life.  

Known as the genius belt in the 195O’s, Lehigh Valley was once home to many visual and performing artists.  The area is once again bustling with new cultural activity and eager to attract cultural artists and audiences.  With this in mind, Dancenow/NYC’s Artistic Director and Producer, Robin Staff is helping to bring emerging and established dance artists from NYC and Philadelphia into this area, providing them with unlimited rehearsal space to encourage the creation and development of new work.  Since April, 2000 Silo @ Kirkland Farm has provided free rehearsal space and housing to 6O + independent artists, professional dance companies and other dance related professionals from New York City and Philadelphia. Six years later, the residency is booked on a regular basis, year round. 

You are welcome to stay at Silo @ Kirkland Farm for two days or two weeks, depending on your needs.  We book all year long (except for the Thanksgiving, XMAS and July 4th Holidays).  It is best to schedule your residency as soon as possible (we are booked as far as a year in advance) so that you get the dates you want. Contributions towards housing in The Guest House helps to maintain the Silo Residency program and support the development of new work.
