Application Process

The workshop is designed for visual artists who have an established studio practice. Participation is limited to a maximum of six individuals accepted on a rolling basis, based on experience, images, and stated interest.


This is the pilot year of the workshop at this site. The reduced workshop fee reflects this, and I'm excited to welcome applicants who understand the pleasure and challenge of beginning.


To apply, please complete and submit the application form below. Review of applications is ongoing until April 10, 2021, but up to six artists may be accepted well before then. A waiting list will be maintained.

*Please read our Policies page before applying.*
