Sponsored Residencies

Sponsored residencies support Yaddo’s mission by underwriting the cost of visits by creative artists. These residencies are underwritten both in perpetuity, with an endowed fund, and annually, and reflect such shared areas of interest as artists’ geographic origin, discipline, or focus, such as science education. Single-Year Residencies Elizabeth Ames Residency Established in 2006 in honor of Yaddo’s first executive director and awarded every other year. Milton and Sally Michel Avery Residency for a Visual Artist Established in 1985 by Yaddo artist Sally Michel Avery in honor of her late husband, Milton, who was also a Yaddo artist.
