Grand Canyon Artist-In-Residence

Grand Canyon, AZ, United States

The Grand Canyon Conservancy (GCC) Artist-In-Residence program is designed to host individual artists with a well-developed body of work that engages contemporary themes -- especially those tied to conservation, cultural identity, and community. The residency prioritizes artists whose work and public programs are site-specific and best fit the goals of telling stories that have been excluded, hidden, unknown, untold, or under-emphasized.  The residency embraces an artist-focused, open-ended model that prioritizes on-site research and exploration in the interest of creating deeper personal and public relationships with the Grand Canyon. While the residency is a highly immersive experience and community outreach is an important aspect of the engagement, artists can spend time on-site as they wish.

Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture

PO Box 2078
Sister, OR 97759
United States

Pine Meadow Ranch was acquired by The Roundhouse Foundation in 2017. Prior to this acquisition, this 260-acre ranch was ranched, farmed and cared for by aviatrix and rodeo stalwart Dorro Sokol, .Many of the buildings at PMR were built in the 1930s. Today, PMR continues to operate as a working ranch and is expanding arts, agricultural and ecological projects using the assets of the property. Our goal is to preserve the land, the views, and and historic buildings for year to come.

Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture

Sisters, OR, United States

At Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture, we work with artists, educators, researchers and Tribal members to support the long-term resilience of the local ecosystem. As stewards of the land, we rely on a deep understanding of the local ecology and the application of time-tested techniques to conserve natural resources and maintain the fertile conditions in which life can flourish. Understanding how different entities within the ecosystem interact and coexist at PMRCAA has allowed us to preserve the ranching tradition and maintain agricultural land. Our hope is to restore PMRCAA’s soil by understanding the diverse web of relationships responsible for maintaining its fertility.

By embracing a more expansive perspective that recognizes the power of diverse ways of knowing and being, we concern ourselves with how to instill ethical relations of production and explore the role artists, culture bearers, scientists, scholars, and researchers play in nourishing radical imagination and facilitating transformative change.

100 West - Corsicana Artist & Writer Residency

Corsicana, TX, United States

Corsicana Artist and Writer Residency advances the production and presentation of new work and ideas by an international community of artists and writers by providing an arena of generous support and historic space.

Fifty miles south of Dallas, this residency takes place in the historic downtown of Corsicana, where two oil booms in the 1890s to 1920s produced an exuberant architectural setting. Historic buildings declined in care and use by the late-20th century, alongside the general compromise of small-town America. Corsicana Artist and Writer Residency affords creative re-use of these preserved sites, soaked in their unaltered space, light and proportion. Anchored by 100 West, a former Odd Fellows Lodge, this collection of sites becomes a cultural campus providing artists and writers meaningful interaction with the community and its history as a springboard for research and creative production. We champion innovative and engaged studio practices and writing, while facing outward in partnerships for education, exhibition and publication designed to develop transformative dialogue with audiences near and far.

The unique history and cultural landscape of Corsicana lies at the intersection of economic change and the collection of diverse races and religious histories throughout that change. This residency is uniquely positioned to engage and respond to this landscape through its support for creative production.

Additional Studio Information

Artists and writers coming to Corsicana escape compact, urban centers to make work without distraction.  It's quiet here.  Long hours are clocked in the studio with a focus stimulated by small-town atmosphere and big, open windows. Fixtures like easels, worktables, seating, bed frames and the spiral staircase accessing our roof are all made within the building, for the building.

Occasionally guests from Texas’ creative community, galleries, museums and friends are invited for studio visits and to expand dinner conversation.

Corsicana’s historic downtown offers diners, coffee shops, parks, grocery stores and hardware shops in safe walking distance, so cars are not necessary - although bicycles are available. Our local community extends across the street from 100W and throughout downtown Corsicana with several private live-work studios of this program’s founders. Transportation is generally accommodated with complimentary drives to and from the nearest airports like Dallas’ Love Field Airport one hour north of Corsicana, and Dallas-Fort-Worth International Airport one-and-a-half hours northwest of Corsicana.

WOWArtSci Supported Residencies

WOWArtSci Supported Residencies

Carson, NM, United States

WOWArtSci welcomes artists and scientists to explore their passions in a natural retreat setting with total quiet, dark skies (Bortle 2), and easy access to a vibrant, diverse, and historic community of artists and artisans. We are located on the Taos Volcanic Plateau aka 'The Mesa' - approximately 13 miles from downtown Taos, NM. 

We offer 11 day/10 night supported residencies with a small cash stipend.

Residents are housed in a private 900 sq. ft. Casita with kitchen and bath. To keep the Casita friendly for all of our future residents and guests we request that no toxic or perfumed chemicals be brought onto the property. 

Residents have private access to a small lofted barn studio 10'x12'. The studio has basic art supplies, a wash station, and large workbench. A list of available supplies will be provided before arrival. Residents can also work anywhere outside on our 20 acre property.

This is a rural and somewhat remote location with uneven ground, cantankerous weather, and high elevation. Please contact us with any accessibility questions or concerns. 

We prioritize our LGBTQ+ family, but welcome all!

Additional Accessibility Information

Our residency is housed in a single level casita with one 3-4" inch step to enter the building. The pathways around the building are a mix of flagstone, and gravels of various sizes. The property is mostly flat to gently rolling sagebrush. The dirt is soft and has many critter holes. The driveways are large gravel. The residency is not wheelchair accessible at this time, and may be difficult for those with walkers/crutches to navigate safely. 

We will make every effort to accommodate as many people as possible into our residency. Please contact us directly with accessibility needs, questions, or concerns. We are always happy to give video/descriptive tours of the property for applicants to determine if it is suitable for them.
