SUMMARY:Residency: Jan Michalski Foundation Application Dates
DESCRIPTION:The Jan Michalski Foundation’s residency for writers is designed to provide an environment for literary creation and to support those involved in the written word. \n\n\nThe Foundation features a group of seven distinctive residential modules that are available for writers and translators invited for residencies of varying lengths of time. Hanging from the openwork “canopy” that runs above the Foundation\, these units are called “cabins” and offer ideal conditions to anyone who is looking to start\, continue working on\, or put the finishing touches to a writing project. \nAlthough open to all kinds of writing and all languages\, the residency program does give priority to literary writers and translators. The residencies can be for either individuals or pairs of participants in the case of projects involving more than one discipline. Each year some forty authors from around the world\, from emerging writers to seasoned veterans\, are able to count on a certain period of time dedicated to a literary project. \nA percentage of the residencies are dedicated to nature writing\, a form of fiction or creative non-fiction that raises awareness of nature\, prepares for a sustainable future\, and helps to better understand socio-environmental interconnections and the impact of human actions on nature. \n\n\n\nBecome a resident\n\n\nGeneral Terms and Conditions\n\nResidences are available for all types of writers engaged in literary creation. While we give priority to writers and translators\, we are also open to other disciplines as long as literature is at the heart of the project. Stays in the Jan Michalski Foundation are granted to individuals as well as pairs of writers working on a common project. The latter might include a writer and a translator\, a writer and someone from another discipline\, two writers\, and so on. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\nThe Jan Michalski Foundation lies at the foot of the Swiss Jura Mountains in Montricher. The village is approximately 30 minutes from Lausanne and one hour from Geneva. It is possible to reach Montricher from Morges by train. \nSix “cabins” overlook Lake Geneva and the Alps while a seventh is oriented towards the forested slopes of the Jura. One final cabin serves as a kitchen and common living area where resident writers can cook together\, socialize and relax. \n\n\n\nLength of stay\n\nResidencies can vary in length\, lasting from two weeks to one\, two\, or three months. The length of stay should match the scope of the project. The period applied for is a request only\, and the Jan Michalski Foundation reserves the right to offer another period depending on availability. \n\n\n\nEligibility criteria\n\nThere are no age or nationality restrictions.\nBeginners are accepted.\nCandidates are only allowed to submit one application per year.\nFormer residents are not allowed to reapply.

SUMMARY:Event: I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Gaskell’s House marked the 10th anniversary of its restoration and opening to the public with a bold new exhibition called I’ve Never Read Elizabeth Gaskell\, as part of a project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.\nThree young writers – Georgia Affonso\, Princess Arinola Adegbite and Guruleen Kahlo – were awarded inaugural writers’ residencies at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House\, Manchester’s only literary house\, and it is their endeavours that take centre stage. \nThey began their journey having never read Elizabeth’s work\, but by spending time at the house they have been immersed in her writing and role as a social reformist. Through their eyes visitors will also be able to discover just how much there is to the inspiring world of Elizabeth Gaskell. \nCreated in partnership with The Writing Squad and Manchester City of Literature. Please check the library opening times before planning your visit.

SUMMARY:Event: Sara Baume & Emily LaBarge discuss Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Shortly after the pandemic lockdown Sara Baume came across a painting in a pop-up exhibition in a renovated West Cork shed. Fascinated by it\, she became determined to make the painter’s acquaintance – although a native of North Dakota the artist Mollie Douthit was now living and working in rural Ireland. Bonded by a common love of nature and a commitment to their respective artistic practices\, they began to meet regularly\, to talk\, to eat and to swim. What would it be like\, Baume wondered\, to write a book in the style of Mollie’s painting? Opening Night is the result. She will be in conversation with Emily LaBarge\, author of Dog Days.
