This is a multi-disciplinary Art Residency for women at any stage of their artistic journey. This includes writers, dancers, painters, song-writers, ceramicists, textile artists, and more.

The Residency is self-directed. This means you can create at your own pace. You have access to a private apartment and a separate 64 square meter Art Studio.

Residents are given access to the Creative Play Container, a series of daily prompts and activities that guide you through the creation cycle with the goal of sparking Play within your own practice during the Residency. Each Resident can engage with this as much or as little as they want.

Artist stays are a minimum of two weeks. If you would like to stay longer, please indicate so in your application.

Additional rooms will open up in 2027 for multiple artist stays.
