what we are and what we are not

What we are

  • We are a quiet contemplative space
  • We are in a rural area
  • We have unconventional studio spaces
  • We are a small residency
  • We are a series of ephemeral communities that arise with each session, coalesce, and then dissipate
  • We offer our space to people serious about exploring their work and their process
  • We gather people here to explore questions about the nature of our lives
  • We value the ability to create community within each cohort
  • We expect that people come here to work, research, or explore their practice
  • We believe in downtime, social time, and community events but in moderation and not to the exclusion of getting your own work done/disturbing the work of others, or the vibe of the cohort as a whole.

What we are not

  • We are not an airbnb
  • We are not an artist retreat/vacation center.
  • We are not a party space
  • We are not your work from home office
  • We are not an institution
  • We are not a large anonymous space
  • We value your explorations of the local area as part of your process, or as needed downtime to refresh- BUT we are not your home base for daily excursions to town, the bars, your friends house etc.

We trust that by applying to and accepting your place in our residency, that you are aware of our expectations and limitations, and that you are coming here to take part in our specific program.
