The Facilities The Monhegan Artists' Residency program provides an apartment and a separate studio for the residents. The apartment is in the Hitchcock House on Horn Hill in the addition to a house that Rockwell Kent originally built for a family friend. It is quiet and private and provides a beautiful view across the meadow to the harbor and the lighthouse. The fully furnished apartment will comfortably serve the needs of one person. It has a living room with fully equipped kitchen area, a bedroom with a double bed, and a full bath with shower. It also has a large deck, with access to a grill for outdoor cooking. Dishes, cooking utensils, towels, and linens are all provided.
The studio is large and airy, right in the center of town. It is the first floor of the 1825 Black Duck fish house among the cluster of buildings that make up Fish Beach , just a minute's walk from the harbor. It is the heart of Monhegan's working world. The space has been nicely renovated and is light and pleasant. The studio is equipped with basic art making furnishings, such as an easel, a worktable and chairs, and shelving. The studio is not equipped for large-scale sculpture techniques like welding. Because of the size of the apartment and because the residency program is designed to provide a brief respite from the day-to-day cares of family and work, no guests (including family members) are allowed to stay at Hitchcock House apartment during the residency.
