How do I apply for a MADarts residency?

By design, our MADarts program does not have an application. All you need to do is drop us a line and mention your interest. You can even reach out to us via Instagram, or send us links to your work, in whatever informal way feels good to you. We love getting to know artists of all kinds and considering them for future residencies.

Do you offer dance classes?

We currently do not offer any classes. Because of the nature of our ongoing short-term rentals and residencies, an ongoing daily or weekly time slot is not possible at MAD. It’s possible that in the future we would offer the occasional open class or master class when a visiting artist or company is in residence – but that won’t happen during the pandemic.

How many people can stay at MAD?

Here’s a quick guide: there are 7 proper beds + 1 daybed in the caboose + the sofa in the living room + an Aerobed air mattress. If there’s a mix of couples, singles and children, 8-10 is great, 10-12 is doable if you’re using the caboose, and on a case-by-case basis, we will consider up to 14 – but usually for arts organizations only, and not during the pandemic.

If I want to book a vacation rental, where do I do that?

All of our vacation rentals are booked through Airbnb.

Can I check in early?

Sadly, no. Given the complicated indoor and outdoor turnover required for this historic property (including deep cleaning and disinfecting), early check-ins are just never possible.

Can I check out late?

Sadly, no. Given the complicated indoor and outdoor turnover required for this historic property (including deep cleaning and disinfecting), late check-outs are just never possible.

Can I rent space by the hour for my yoga class?

Hourly rentals are not possible because we’re dedicated to week-long and two-week-long arts residencies, and two-night to two-week vacation rentals.

Do you have performances I can come and see?

Our philosophy is about experimentation, research and rehearsal – we’re a space for early work and developmental work, not a performance space or public arts center. That said, we do plan to offer MADhouse, a series of free indoor/outdoor house concerts for invited audiences. To find out more about these, please sign up for our mailing list.
