Applications now open for 2022 Hideout Residencies

Scholarship deadline for Maritime writers is March 28

Applications are now open for a unique writing and creative residency program in Prince Edward Island. The Hideout Residencies welcome writers, artists, and self-care practitioners to a quiet rural setting 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-based writers and practitioners, one full scholarship covering residency costs is available to an emerging or established writer or practitioner with financial need. Writers or wellness practitioners who identify as BIPOC or 2SLGBTQ+ are especially encouraged to apply. The scholarship deadline for 2022 is March 28. For more information about the Hideout Residencies, the application process, or the scholarship, visit www.thehideoutpei.com.

The Hideout was the high point of my 2020. The cozy facilities, idyllic Lords Pond Watershed, and gracious hosts offer a truly enriching space in which I could reflect, recuperate, and make substantial strides in my writing. I could not more highly recommend this residency.
