Subcircle Residency prioritizes supporting performing artists (dance/theater/performance art/interdisciplinary) in the beginning or early stages of developing new works, but welcomes artists of any kind to apply. Currently applications are by invitation but we do welcome inquiries so we can put you on our radar. We are located in Biddeford, Maine, just 15 miles south of Portland, 2 miles from beautiful Fortunes Rocks Beach, and a short drive to downtown Biddeford which features some of Maine’s best coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, and distilleries.
