Applications now open for 2021 Hideout residencies

Scholarship deadline for Maritime writers is April 16

Applications are now open for a unique writing and creative residency program in Prince Edward Island. The Hideout Residencies welcome writers, artists, yoga instructors and self-care practitioners to a quiet rural retreat on PEI’s south shore each spring and fall. Residencies are a week in length and allow for uninterrupted time to work on a creative project. 

In order to support Maritime writers and practitioners, one full scholarship covering residency costs is available to an emerging or established writer or practitioner with financial need. The scholarship deadline for 2021 is April 16. Writers or wellness practitioners who identify as BIPOC or LGBTQ are especially encouraged to apply. For more information about the Hideout Residencies, the application process, or the scholarship, visit www.thehideoutpei.com. 

About The Hideout

Created by writer Trevor Corkum and yoga teacher Joshua Lewis, The Hideout offers retreat and vacation options for writers, creative folks, and visitors from across Canada and around the world. The Hideout is located on the scenic South Shore of PEI, a few minutes outside the village of Victoria-by-the-Sea. The Hideout Residency program was founded in 2020.

Further information

Writers and other residents should plan to work on a project or engage in practice for a minimum of one week (6 nights). Residents will arrive on a Saturday afternoon and depart the following Friday morning. Both the Hideout Cottage and Tryon Suite feature queen-sized beds and bedding, self-catering kitchens, wifi access, yoga mats and props, space to write and practice, outdoor space, and access to trails and bicycles. Because of the rural nature of The Hideout, residents should normally plan to have their own vehicle for the duration of their stay.
