Good Hart Artist Residency

The Good Hart Artist Residency offers 10- to 21-day stays for visual artists, writers, and composers at any stage of their career. Each resident is provided a private residence with a detached studio, a $500 stipend, a kitchen stocked with basic groceries, several home-cooked meals from local hosts, and a quiet retreat along the shores of Lake Michigan. The residency typically hosts one artist at a time, offering the solitude and focus needed to create and reflect.

Nestled in the woods along the "Tunnel of Trees," a designated Scenic Heritage Route, the residency is within walking distance of the village of Good Hart. Residents can enjoy Lake Michigan's beaches, nearby sand dunes, and the region's inland lakes and wetlands.
