A unique opportunity to spend a week of uninterrupted solitude and refuge in the dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore is being offered exclusively to one Native American artist/writer to be chosen by lottery.

The Provincetown Community Compact is collaborating with NLC to offer the 2024 Native American Dune Shack Residency, October 26 to November 2nd. Interested applicants must use this link to apply by January 15.

The winner will be selected by the Native Land Conservancy to stay in the C-Scape Dune Shack. The Dune Shacks are primitive and have no electricity or indoor plumbing but afford access to sandy shores, marshes, ponds and diverse species of plant and wildlife. Located in the ancestral homelands of the Wampanoag, they are considered rare and fragile architectural shelters deemed historically significant as a resource for the development of American art, literature and recreation over the last century.
