Blue Mountain Center

Residencies
Established creative and non-fiction writers, and artists not requiring exceptional facilities are eligible applicants for our month-long residencies that run from mid-June through mid-October. The admissions committee is particularly interested in a fine work that evinces social and ecological concern and is aimed at a general audience.

Conferences
The Blue Mountain Center hosts conferences for up to 25 people during the spring and fall months. The purpose of the meetings is to bring together those working on pressing social problems such as civil liberties, environmental health and safety, peace, and economic justice.

Margolis Award
The Margolis Award is given annually to a promising new journalist or essayist whose work recalls Richard Margolis's warmth, humor, and concern for social issues.
