Mesa Refuge welcomes a diverse community of writers—both emerging and established—who define and/or offer solutions to the pressing issues of our time. The priority of this residency is to support writers, activists and artists whose ideas are “on the edge,” taking on the pressing issues of our time including (but not limited to): nature, environment and climate crisis; economic, racial and gender equity; social justice and restorative justice; immigration; health care access; housing; and more.
The application is available on June 1, 2024 and the deadline is November 1, 2024 for residencies throughout 2025.
Residencies are two weeks long and there is no residency fee. Additional residency expenses like travel, transportation and food are your responsibility. The Mesa Refuge facility accommodates three residents at a time.
