Facilities


The Monhegan Artists’ Residency provides studio and living space on the island that has internet connections, but no land-line access. Cellphone reception can be intermittent in some island locations.

Because the residency program is designed to provide uninterrupted time away from daily obligations, no guests (including family members) are allowed to stay during the residency. No smoking is allowed in the living quarters or studios.

The Bert Poole Studio

Bert Poole Studio May 31-June 14, 2026

This well-kept cottage is the ideal location for someone seeking time “off the grid” to create. Just past the Ice Pond, away from the hub-bub of the village, the cottage offers privacy, light, and sweeping views of the ocean. In addition to indoor studio space, the cottage has a large deck for making work en plein air. The cottage expands over two levels and includes one full bath and a well-stocked kitchen (pots/pans, dishes; no microwave). Sheets and towels are not provided. The cottage is powered by solar electricity; no broadband, but internet can be accessed via your cellphone or mobile hotspot; residents will be expected to carry their own luggage down a winding path and up a ramp to the studio space.



Zimmie’s

Zimmie’s September 20- October 4, 2026

Zimmie's is a classic 4-square house with a lovely porch that can be used as a studio. The cottage is lightly furnished, so there is lots of room for artwork of all kinds. The first floor has a fully functioning kitchen (stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, pots/pans, tableware) and a full bath (including a washing machine). A bedroom is located on the second floor, along with another full bath. Sheets and towels will be supplied. While on the main street in the village, this back area is always quiet and faces west for warm sunsets. Zimmie's has wifi via the island's broadband network.
