SOARING GARDENS ARTISTS’ RETREAT Work in Tranqui SOARING GARDENS ARTISTS’ RETREAT Work in Tranquility! Soaring Gardens Artists’ Residency offers residencies to visual artists, writers, composers and musicians between May and September. Residencies may be from three to eight weeks. (Depending on scheduling two residencies will also be considered) Soaring Gardens has two locations about ten minutes apart; a house with a separate studio building and a converted church. They are located near Laceyville in diary country one hour west of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Depending on the nature of their work, the House can accommodate up to three working artists. The Church can accommodate two. Since the residents live closely together, we encourage group applications--which are given priority. A group may consist of people working in any combination of artistic disciplines. Residents shop and cook for themselves. A limited number of travel stipends re available, go to the website for details.
