Artist Residencies: Application Only

Something magical happens when artists disconnect from daily life to focus on their work. Our application-only residency program is for visual artists of all levels and media. We host a maximum of three artists each week, allowing for deeper focus, greater connection with other resident artists, and a more personalized experience overall.

Our program is unique in that resident artists will have one piece curated into a gallery exhibition at Jen Tough Gallery.

Selected artists can choose to spend one week to one month in our newly designed facility on the outskirts of Santa Fe. Each selected artist gets a private studio and a private room with ensuite bath. Continental breakfast included. Each room has a small kitchen and there is a full shared kitchen as well.

Artists who have previously participated in a residency with us report making revolutionary progress in their practice, new friendships and connections, and go home inspired and renewed with greater purpose, focus and direction. We’ve found that artists who give themselves the gift of time away from daily distractions, can experience profound growth in their art practice, no matter their level.

Our residency fees are subsidized by our workshop and retreat programs.

EACH RESIDENCY INCLUDES

  • A private room with ensuite bath and mini-kitchen

  • A private artist studio with 24/7 access

  • Continental breakfast daily

  • Indoor and outdoor lounging areas

  • Bike to explore our rural neighborhood and high desert terrain

  • Artist kitchen and coffee bar

  • One piece curated into an upcoming exhibition at Jen Tough Gallery

Workshops: no application

More workshops for 2025 announced soon!

Our workshop program is designed for artists who want more individualized attention from instructors. Each participant will share a studio with just one other artist, offering lots of space to spread out and create. Our workshops are for artists wanting to take their work to the next level through individualized critique, feedback and support from our seasoned instructors. Our small group setting, field trips and communal dining create a more intimate environment and conducive to forming lifelong friendships.
