2017 Winter/Spring Residencies at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts

The artist residency program at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts offers two sessions per year with programs of two or four weeks, depending on availability and the applicant's ranking in the jury process. Preference will go to four-week requests. The Winter/Spring artist retreats run from January–May with an application deadline of September 15 of the previous year. The Summer/Fall session runs from June–November with an application deadline of March 15 of the same year.

A blind jury will rank residents based on work samples provided with the application. Visual Artists (including drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, installation, new media, and video) shall provide 10–20 images or a short video. Language Arts (including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, screenplay or script writing, and scientific writing) shall include no more than 20 pages of material. Musicians and composers provide two scores and two music files for listening. Do not include your name or website on any work samples; label with titles only.

Selected artists will receive housing, most meals, exclusive studio access, and use of the library, lounge, and kitchen, all located in a meadow along the riparian corridor of Brush Creek. Residents are responsible for all supplies and either transportation to Brush Creek Ranch or Laramie Regional Airport. Applicants must provide work samples formatted to CAFE standards, a CV or resume, an artist statement and description of the project, and contact information for two individuals capable of providing a character reference. The entry fee is $40.00. Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts is a separate non-profit program, apart from the Lodge and Spa at Brush Creek Ranch.
