Artist Residencies
WildHeart exists to Incubate New Performances.
We envision a world with more performances created as an expression of deep integrity, nourished by embodiment practice, while living close to the earth.
WildHeart offers support to Artists and Ensembles to develop their work and engage with creative process by providing food and housing at below market price.
Artist Residencies include shared access to our dance studio, land access to the forest and private lake, an option for works-in-progress showing with audience feedback from our community, and to join WildHeart community gatherings such as shared meals, meditations, classes, song circles, moon ceremonies etc.
We’d love to welcome you here. Please fill out the application to share your proposal, and someone from the WildHeart team will be in touch soon.
Info For Artists
Food:
If you opt-in to the communal food system you are welcome to use any of the food stock we have in our kitchen during your stay here. Please note this does not include pre-prepared/cheffed meals and you are responsible for your own cooking. Our bulk foods generally include: nuts, beans, veggies, fruits, grains, frozen meats, dairy, some dairy alternatives, tea + coffee, boxed wine.
Shared Spaces:
As an Artist in Residence (AIR), you are welcome to use the Barn and the Nest during your stay whenever they are not occupied by public programming or rentals. When we confirm your residency dates, we’ll let you know which times the Barn and Nest are in use. We do not reserve specific timeslots for AIR rehearsals, and it’s understood that these working spaces are communal and shared. If you’d like to reserve private working time in the Barn, we can provide information about our rental rates.
Our spaces are best suited for movement, theater, music, writing, film/photography, or personal retreat. If you work in a different medium and are interested in using our facilities, please reach out so we can help determine whether our spaces are a good fit.
For accommodations, we will provide you with the best available bedspot at the time of your stay. On your application you can indicate your preferences (such as a single room or shared room), and we’ll do our best to honor them, though we do not reserve specific rooms in advance.
For larger groups, please specify your needs in the application or email contact@wildheartcenter.art to discuss programming possibilities.
Please check our creative spaces info & accommodations page to learn more about our facilities.
