We welcome the wild seriousness of your creative self-expression.

What is this?

A multidisciplinary art residency program in an immersive co-created community.

When?

April - May & July - August, 2024

What's the vibe?

In this enchanted space, our goals are not just aspirations; they're the very air we breathe. We beckon exceptional artists to join us, seeking souls who yearn to transcend the confines of their home studios and add their unique brushstrokes to the Garden's ever-evolving canvas.
We're on the lookout for exceptional artists, the kind who want to break free from the usual studio grind and add a dash of their creativity to the Garden's artistic tapestry. Here, we believe in intentional planning, inclusivity, and good vibes with nature. We're not just a space; we're a community where artists learn from each other, the local community gets involved, and our love for the environment is as real as the ground beneath our feet.
Our doors are wide open for all kinds of artists – 6-10 spots for the rising stars and two for the seasoned maestros who want to inspire and mentor. Every artist here adds their flavor to The Garden's vibe, making it a place where creativity blooms. Other than our artist residencies, we expect an additional curious creatures 20-50 people on-site, a 9 hectare private nature estate full of spaces designed for creation and connection.

Our Offering

Residencies here are a bit like life – two weeks to two months long, happening in April-May and July-August. You'll find a comfy spot to rest your head, whether it's a dorm, a tipi, or a bell tent. We'll keep you fueled with two square plant-based meals a day, Monday through Friday by our professional chef, Ines. These residencies are free, and one extra-ordinary artist each season will receive a flight & stipend in addition.

Application

Our application process is more like a friendly chat. Show us what you got – your portfolio, your project plan, and a heartfelt letter telling us why you're here. We're not into the whole fancy selection process. We just want to make sure we are finding the best match to what we envision here.
Once you're in, get ready to co-create a rhythm of weekly workshops, a closing exhibition \ performance / artistic action, accountability meetings (not as scary as they sound), and a chance to give back through volunteer shifts if you're one of the younger artists.
But the story doesn't end there. We'll check in on you every week, have a chat, and even get your thoughts on how we're doing. We like to keep things real and improve wherever we can.
This is not just an artist residency program; this is an ongoing narrative of creation, connection, and collaboration. Join us in this story; let your art be a chapter in the Garden's journey.

*You don't define yourself as a professional artist but still want to be part of the magic?

The Garden Labs program is a living lab experiment of creativity & community that is acting as a dual option for those with creativity in their heart to share this place with established artists and cross-pollinate in a nurturing environment.
