The Millay Colony for the Arts hosts writers, visual artists, and composers of all ages and in all stages of their artistic career. Groups of six to seven artists representing various disciplines are invited for month-long residencies at the Colony between the months of April and November. The Colony provides each resident a private room and studio, and meals. There are no fees charged for a residency.

The Millay Colony is located about 2 ½ hours north of New York City and 2 ½ hours west of Boston, Massachusetts, in Austerlitz, New York.

The Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Awards, worth $15,000, are awarded annually starting in 2005 for outstanding artistic achievement by Canadian mid-career artists in the disciplines of Dance, Inter-Arts, Media Arts, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts and Writing and Publishing.

The Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Fund originated from a generous bequest by the late Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton to the Canada Council for the Arts in 1967. Until 2005, the annual revenues were used to award senior grants in Visual Arts and Music.
