Office Big Red Barn Kocur Writer's Retreat School House |
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.
The Residency Program provides living accommodations, individual work space and uninterrupted time to selected artists and writers: painters, poets, fiction and nonfiction writers, composers, sculptors, photographers, playwrights, and those working in the natural sciences and interdisciplinary forms. Residents are chosen by a rotating panel of professionals in the arts and humanities. The quality of an applicant´s work is given primary consideration in the review process.
