The Micro-Residency at Bischoff Inn
The Micro-Residency at Bischoff Inn Inn offers artists a clean, calming and peaceful space for study, work and relaxation. Residencies last for 1 or 2 weeks and are equal parts relaxation and productive work time. Our program attracts artists with many responsibilities (working artists, families, teachers) looking to make the most of their vacation days and seeking a way to integrate art making into their valuable time off. Our cohort of artists includes writers, poets, fashion designers, scholars, photographers, sculptors, composers, and those working in painting and drawing.
There is no application fee. The base residency fee is $350 (Winter/Spring) or $375 (Summer) per week.
