APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

​​

Although all free residency slots for 2024 have been filled, we are pleased to offer more in-depth, self-funded residency options for those seeking a dedicated environment to advance their creative practice. These residencies are especially suited for painters and creatives looking to deepen their studio focus, as well as for writers and artists interested in developing small-scale works, sketchbook exploration, drawing, writing, creating funding applications, portfolios, project planning, mentoring support, or engaging in meaningful, non-judgmental dialogues about their practice.

​

This is a valuable opportunity to dedicate time to various aspects of your creative journey beyond just the act of creation. Whether you're refining your concepts, exploring new directions, or seeking practical guidance, our residency offers an enriching environment for reflection, experimentation, and growth.
