Jampolis Cottage Residency Program

Located on the shores of the Minas Basin in Avonport, Nova Scotia, Jampolis Cottage is a lovingly maintained and updated 230-year-old Georgian colonial house that welcomes emerging, established, and professional authors from Nova Scotia and beyond.
Administered by the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia, the Jampolis Cottage Residency Program was made possible by the late owners of the house—Neil Peter Jampolis and Maritza “Jane” Reisman Jampolis, award-winning scenic and lighting designers—and by the Jampolis Living Trust founded in their name.
