Residency
The Lorca has always been an informal place for art and culture. Now, we’re committing space for a residency.
Our program is simple. There are no requirements. Have the space for yourself, as a reading room or hiking base, at rest or in your practice.
Small cohorts visit together, with organic timing and connection. Work space is modest at this point; we hope to add a studio in the coming year.
The application is brief. With you, we’ll continue to build a space for artists, writers, photographers, and advocates.
While rooms are covered, you’ll need to provide transportation. Please review the options below.
-
We welcome applications from a range of working artists, across disciplines. We’re hoping to host people who are committed to their practice and communities.
-
We’re planning to offer short sessions of 2-4 days at our Lorca Adirondacks location in Sabael, New York.

Lorca Adirondacks is a reimagined motel with a main lodge. There are eight rooms at the motel. The lodge tends to be rented separately.
We hope to develop a larger shared studio space in the future. At present, work space is limited: the motel rooms, the outdoors, and nearby culture centers are the main places to create. That said, the surrounding nature is incredible, and includes a 50-mile perimeter lake dotted with ten islands, and incredible mountain hikes.
Here are photos that offer a sense of the property and area.

A car is required to access the property, area necessities, and local attractions. There is no Uber in the area. You may of course share transportation by applying with friends; for those arriving separately, the Trailways Bus reaches nearby towns, e.g., Glens Falls.
