The Hundredth Hill Writer and Musician Retreats provide creatives 50 acres of pristine woodlands and four original, upcycled, and finely-crafted residences for week- and month-long retreats in the rolling hills just outside Bloomington, Indiana. The retreat’s mission is to offer quiet, inspirational space for artists and leaders to create, think, reconnect with their work, and make progress on world-changing projects. Artists may apply as individuals or as a 4-person team.

Musician and composer Krista Detor and sound engineer David Weber founded The Hundredth Hill in response to a world in need of imaginative solutions to current social and environmental crises. 

Residences include a refurbished Airstream, a loft featuring a twisting handcrafted staircase built with branches from the property, a wheelchair-accessible cabin, and a cottage filled with delightful, upcycled features. Gathering spaces include a rustic yet comfortable barn with full-kitchen, restroom, eclectic furniture, loft, stage, and room to host 25-30 participants. A professional DIY recording studio is available on the property for an additional charge.

Meals are not prepared for artists, but all units include kitchenettes with refrigerator, sink, microwave, induction cooktop, air fryer, panini grill, coffee maker, and coffee, tea, and spices. Retreats include a fully stocked pantry and fridge in each individual residence for making meals, and access to laundry facilities.

,Mother’s Milk is a 2-6 week interdisciplinary residency, supporting three or four visual artists, sound artists, dancers/choreographers, and creative writers at a time pursuing innovative work in their field. The goal is to provide individuals or collaborative teams with the time and space to pursue creative projects alongside other residents whose different perspectives offer inspiration and interaction. Work more experimental in nature without regard to commercial viability is of special interest, a focus on process over product. Residents have studios in a 1,500 sq. ft. hay barn studio and share housing in a fully renovated 1898 farmhouse. No car is needed.

Location
Mother's Milk Residency is located in a restored former dairy farm at the edge of Newton, Kansas, tucked between farm fields, a light industrial park, and a travel hub. Our 15 acres are heavily wooded in most areas with some historic farm machinery left in place, where it has found a symbiosis with nature. The grounds offer opportunities for performance, installation, or a source of natural materials.

Nondiscrimination
Mother's Milk is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or dis/ability.
