Is there a required schedule or program?
No. This residency is fully self-directed. There are no production requirements or mandatory open studios. Artists are free to set their own pace and focus.

Are critiques or studio visits mandatory?
Not at all. They’re entirely optional. You can choose the balance of solitude and community that best supports your process.

How long can I stay?
Residencies range from two to five weeks, depending on availability and your preference.

What does it cost?
The program fee is $450 per week, which includes private accommodations, full studio access, and use of the property.

What’s covered in that fee?
Your fee includes a private residence, access to five acres of wooded land, and opportunities for one-on-one studio visits, open studios, and guided nature walks.

Why is there a fee?
The residency is independently run, and each fee directly supports the care and upkeep of the space — from maintaining the studio and cottage to providing time and resources for visiting artists. The goal is to keep the experience as accessible as possible while sustaining a space built to nurture creative growth, reflection, and genuine connection.

Where will I stay?
You’ll stay in a private, two-bedroom cottage nestled in the woods on the same property as the studio.

What’s included in the cottage?
The space includes a well-equipped kitchen, full bath, back deck, side patio with firepit, and private driveway.

Are linens and household items provided?
Yes. Fresh linens, towels, and household essentials are provided, along with zone heating and cooling, a washer/dryer, and full 360° nature views.

Is the cottage shared?
No — the cottage is entirely private and reserved for the artist in residence.

Can I view the space before applying?
Yes — you can see photos and details here.

Are art supplies provided?
No. Please bring your own paints, canvases, brushes, notebooks, or any other materials essential to your practice or what you want to explore.

Can I order supplies ahead of time?
Yes. You’re welcome to pre-order supplies for delivery to the residency. Craft stores are within 15 minutes, and full art supply stores within 30 minutes. Major retailers like Jerry’s and Blick also ship directly to the property.

Are there basic tools we can use?
Yes, we have basic hand tools and power tools available in the barn next to the studio. If you want to access these, we can show you them when you arrive.

Are meals included?
No. Food, meal preparation, and groceries are the responsibility of each artist. The cottage kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and storage, and there’s a local grocery store just a few minutes away.

Are travel costs covered?
No. Transportation to and from the residency, as well as local travel during your stay, are not included.

Do I need a car?
The property is in the countryside, so while it’s possible to get around without one, access to transportation is helpful.

Is there a car available?
Yes. Artists may use an older but reliable Saab for short local trips. We’ll walk you through its quirks when you arrive.

Are there other options for getting around?
Uber and Lyft operate in the area and are available for rides to nearby towns and galleries.
