The Millay Colony for the Arts

The Millay Colony for the Arts is a not-for-profit arts organization offering comprehensive one month residencies to visual artists, writers and composers at Steepletop, the hilltop property in Austerlitz, NY where the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) lived and wrote for 25 years. The colony was founded in 1973 by the poet’s sister, Norma Millay Ellis, as a way of honoring Millay’s life and work, and providing other artists with a nurturing and inspiring environment.
