Atticus Hotel Artist-in-Residency Program

The Atticus Hotel Artist-in-Residency Program offers residencies of four days, one week, or two weeks from November 15 to April 1 at the Atticus Hotel in downtown McMinnville, Oregon, to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers. Residents are provided a room with a fireplace, complementary espresso, and other hotel amenities including a fitness room and the option to use the drawing room or board room as a work space. One meal credit a day at the hotel’s onsite Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Cypress, is provided. Travel and other expenses are not included. Residents are expected to contribute to the Linfield University community either in the form of leaving poetry or prose to the Atticus Hotel library, reading at the McMinnville public library or a local bookshop, facilitating a writing workshop, or offering another experience that “fosters and deepens connections.” Resident writers may be selected for a classroom visit with the Linfield University Creative Writing Department. To apply, writers submitted a cover letter, résumé, and writing sample of up to five pages of poetry or 10 pages of prose (if an excerpt of a longer manuscript, also submit a brief summary) by July 31. There is no application fee. Visit the website for an application form and more information. 

Accessibility accommodations include public transportation near the venue; accessible sidewalks, pathways, doorways, parking, and public restrooms; elevators in all multilevel event spaces; select accessible rooms with accessible bathrooms; and signage in Braille.
