The Bailey Brown House
The Arts at Amherst Initiative provides housing for sponsored guest artists and scholars visiting campus at the Bailey Brown House. The Initiative prioritizes housing for guests directly involved with faculty or staff whose main purpose is to create new artistic work, or enlarge the conversation around the arts at Amherst. Housing may also be available for other priorities, depending on availability. Requests must be made by a sponsor directly involved in the guest’s visit. The hosting sponsor must be an employee of Amherst College.
The Bailey Brown House is located at 19 Hitchcock Road in Amherst. Explore the Bailey Brown House Virtual Tour for a complete guide to the home.
We request a minimum notice of three weeks prior to the guest's arrival date. Please review the complete Bailey Brown House guidelines.
