Tres Hermanas Self-Directed Residency (February 2027)

Overview

Tres Hermanas Artist Residency is a 2-week self-directed residency open to artists of all career stages, especially those whose practice directly relates to land, conservation, environmental awareness, community building, and social activism. Writers, musicians, and chefs are also encouraged to apply. The residency is ideal for small-scale and site-specific artists.

Duration & Accommodation

• 2-week residency
• Private accommodation with en suite bathroom
• Shared kitchen and other spaces
• Typically one or two artists at a time

Studio & Workspace

Luna is a super adobe dome—a beautiful earthen structure with a desk and large central area for making and experimenting. There is no running water or bathroom inside the dome. Starlink internet is available on the property but can be intermittent; many residents appreciate the slower pace this encourages. If you require reliable high-bandwidth access, please note this in your application.

Equipment & Materials

Small collection of art supplies and basic tools for sculpture are available. Artists should plan to bring their own supplies, though there are lots of materials available for upcycle.
