The quality of an applicant´s work is given primary
consideration in the review process. Applicants from around the U.S. and the
world are invited to work on individual or collaborative projects for two
to eight weeks at the confluence of Piney, Clear and Coal Creeks.The Foundation´s
residency facilities can accommodate four writers and four studio artists
at one time.
Studios are located in the Kocur Writers´ Retreat along
the bank of Clear Creek, the remodeled Clearmont Depot, and the complex of
Rock Studios along Piney Creek.There is a composer´s cabin, Jesse´s
Hideout, which can accommodate one composer at a time. Our oldest buildings
are the Big Red Barn, circa 1880, which houses an art gallery, conference
space, and the Conservation Program office, and the Big Red Ranch House which
houses administrative offices.
