HDC brings together talented visual artists, writers and composers who need time and space to work and wish to exchange ideas in a comfortable rural setting. Accommodations and private studios are in several restored houses surrounded by 300 acres of private wooded hillside. Dinners are served at the renowned Horned Dorset Inn, where residents share conversation and exhibit their work. A $500 place-holder deposit will be required of all accepted candidates. There will be no other fees or costs. HDC does not provide stipends for travel or artist's materials. Three sessions are offered for 2020 and artists may apply at any time. Session I, May 27 - June 21 . Session II, June 24 - July 19 . Session III September 2 - September 27.
