Would you like to make art on a vineyard?

Would you like to live on an organic farm?

The Roblar Artist Residency is an immersive art + agriculture + viticulture experience. Located in Santa Barbara Wine Country, Roblar Winery and Farm span a glorious 40 acres in the heart of California’s Santa Ynez Valley. The property includes 20 acres of vineyards, 5 acres of produce farm, an onsite wine production facility, wine tasting room with award-winning restaurant, plus contemporary art venue, Indah Gallery.

This 3-week residency is designed for visual artists who are seeking a peaceful yet engaging work environment, inspired by natural beauty and embraced by the soul of the land. Roblar is a holistic ecosystem where people, nature, and culture integrate and support one another. We invite select artists to be our guests, to receive nourishment from this special place while simultaneously contributing to the cultural vitality of the Santa Ynez Valley community.

Belltower House Artist Residency is a gift of space and time in a century-old adobe house in Southern New Mexico. It is granted, free of cost, to artists, writers, musicians, activists, and craft practitioners looking for quiet and focus towards their practice. 

The Belltower House is a open floorplan adobe house and studio sitting on 50 acres in rural New Mexico. Several producing fruit trees and vines live on the property amid cottonwoods, porches, a spring-fed pond, and acres of rocky hills.

Applications are accepted twice a year for fall and spring sessions. Residencies are project-based and welcomed across media and discipline, including visual, audio, written, moving, and digital media.

Residents are selected through a review process by a small panel of artists, writers, and poets. Submissions are weighed through a combination of creative promise, relevance and feasibility of proposed project, benefit of the residency to career or practice, fit with rural living requirements and regional specificity, and genre and medium balance with the season’s other residents.

Jackrabbit Studios is a creative sanctuary and retreat space in the Southern California High Desert where artists, healers, makers, thinkers and anyone seeking a reset is welcome, encouraged, and quite often: transformed. 

Passed through the hands of three female artists and currently stewarded by Jennifer Azlant and a team of women and artists, the five acres of secluded and sublime desert expanse invite an opportunity for inner and outer landscapes to converge and intertwine, deep insight to be distilled, and fresh perspectives and healing patterns to emerge.

Our campus is designed for endless permutations for communing, creating, and exploring, with a four-bedroom main house and a standalone casita, an artist workshop/event space, a custom in-ground pool, plus a range of places to perch and practice—art, movement, stillness and collective care—within a cherished ecosystem of local flora and fauna.

The Catskill Mountain Foundation is a 501 (C)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to arts, culture and educational enhancements in the northern Catskill Mountain region.

At the core of our vision is the belief that art can transform the lives of those touched by it. To this end, we aim to combine high-quality performances, artist residencies, and arts education in a multi-faceted program that will deliver broad impact to our community.

1) As a leading multi-arts center in the Catskill region, create programs in the performing arts, visual arts, studio arts, literary arts, and film. CMF currently operates its programs in the Villages of Hunter and Tannersville and in the Town of Windham in Greene County, NY;

2) Support the work of artists through exhibition and performance opportunities and residency programs;

3) Create cultural and educational opportunities for residents and visitors in the Catskill Region that support the goals of inclusion, diversity, equity and access;

4) Use these initiatives to build on the Mountaintop's current assets and to turn these three close communities into a major cultural and educational center in the region.

About The Ou Gallery

The Ou (like, oooh, nice) was officially founded in 2017 when Barclay and Donovan Rose fell in love with the building and began cleaning and restoring it from top to bottom: turning it into the gorgeous space you see today. With help from their wonderful friends and family, they created The Ou to satisfy their dreams to inhabit and share beautiful and gentle creative spaces, to be surrounded by contemporary art, and to bring artists from around the world to a place where they can feel at home, relaxed and inspired. 

What began as a small contemporary art gallery became The Ou-Terlier artist residency, hosting creatives from all over the world.

We are uninvited guests on the lands where live and create, and we humbly acknowledge that these lands are part of the traditional Coast Salish territory of the Quw’utsun and the Hul’qumin’num Treaty Group and the unceded (stolen) territory of the Snuneymuxw nation. 

The residency started in 2022 and supports art projects and artists who are willing to inspire themselves in the city of Guadalajara, in Mexico. (We give special attentions to projects that will to create social impact.)

We are located in Colonia Americana, a vibrant community, which was named as the coolest neighborhood in the world by a famous international magazine, in 2023.

We are inviting international and national artists from different disciplines and working on different media to live, work and join our community.

The length of the residency can be from 1 to 6 months but we prioritize artists staying at least 2 months for a better understanding of the local environment.

We encourage and support artists to have a final event, towards the end of their stay to show the results of their work to the local scene and we usually organize a presentation for them at the beginning of their stay in different art centers in the city.

We offer support to artists in terms of logistics, communications and organization. Moreover, we constantly give suggestions and tips about events and art galleries to visit in the city.

If you want to paint a mural, we have a wall available indoor in our arts residency.

We are completely independent and we DO NOT have access to funds for artist to cover their expenses. However, we can provide an official invitation letter, if they want to apply to grants themselves.

Please note, artists are responsible for all their technical materials. We can help them in the search if necessary.

STUDIO INFORMATION

The residency offers three living/working spaces.

SPACE A: One bedroom (5×3 meters) + studio (4×4 meters) for one artist. Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space can host artists who need separate spaces (sleeping and working).

For this studio, we also accept to host DUO artists just in studio A, but it is important to stress that the studio has just one double bed and we will apply an extra fee of 150 EUR per month.

SPACE B: One big bedroom/studio (5 x 6 meters). Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space is suitable for artists working in a media that don’t require separate working and sleeping spaces. Best for writers or photographers.

SPACE D: One big bedroom/studio (4 x 4 meters). Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space is suitable for artists working in a media that don’t require separate working and sleeping spaces.

All spaces have basic furniture: a bed, closet, desk, mirror, a chair and a shelf.

You’re welcome to use your studio walls for an installation, but you will be asked to clean and repaint them at the end of your stay.

ACCOMMODATION

The residence has two bathrooms (one full – one guests), and several common areas: a kitchen, a dining room, a big central patio, a back patio and a laundry room.

In the central patio, there is a big table with chairs to work that can be removed to host performances, workshops, presentations or art events when required. Ideal for artists who loved to work in a common area.
