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.

All Winter/Spring Session Micro-Residency (November 1 - March 31) artists receive:

  • Private room and bathroom complete with a queen size bed, linens, towels, soap, wi-fi, climate control and smart tv.
  • Access to the communal lounge with a fridge, microwave, coffee & tea bar, grab and go snacks, and kitchen sink.

All Summer Session Micro-Residency (May 1 - September 30) artists receive:

  • A semi-private workspace ranging in size from 550-668 square ft each per artist, located in a separate building on our property called the Lumber Shed
  • Private room and bathroom complete with a queen size bed, linens, towels, soap, wi-fi, climate control and smart tv.
