Applications are now being accepted for the 2027 season between March and November. If you are interested in the full Homestead Experience program, please apply on that page.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed in order of submission. It may take up to a week before you will have a response. Only serious inquiries will be considered and that is why the application form is extensive. ​​

​

By submitting my application I acknowledge:
 

• Residency Fee is based on the length of stay, is non-refundable, and will be paid after reviewing the contract and signing to reserve my room. The lodging fee is based on room choice/assignment and length of stay. The payment policy and cancellation window is outlined in the contract that I have time to review before signing.
   

• I have read what the Residency Fee covers including furnished lodging, access to the land and a studio (if needed and allocated for my particular needs), once-a-week prepared meal for those on site that week, utilities and wifi, housekeeping before and after my stay as well as assistance once a week.
   

• I understand that there is no guarantee as to the number of residency participants on site during my schedule and that there can be an ebb and flow of participants during my schedule.
   

• I understand that the organic element of this residency is also an aspect of interactions. I understand that my role needs to be proactive in the community in terms of seeking out interactions with others or inviting them to see/interact with my work if I need or desire this.
   

• I understand that my time is my own, my schedule is determined by me, and that any group activity - even the group weekly meal - is optional, is organic in its organization, and that sometimes I may be the leader of this activity at my own interest. I understand that there will likely be an option to gather socially on a weekly basis, if possible, such as movie night, stargazing, campfires, etc. often times in conjunction with group dinner night.
   

• I understand that if I offer my expertise to other participants that there is no remuneration for my time. I am aware that there are add-on services such as washing dishes to help me stay focused on my work or consulting from design coach Val.
   

• I understand that I may not achieve my goals during my residency and that sometimes it is okay to shift gears, start over, or other facets of the creative process and that there is no supervision to ensure my personal project or progress. On the other hand, I understand that I may achieve my goals sooner than I hoped and it is up to me to structure the rest of my residency with new work, research, or other aspects of the creative process. It's also understood that sometimes rest and thinking time are most important parts of a residency so that I can be clear on my tasks.
   

• I understand that a rural location may be a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm looking for a unique experience.
