Short Description:
The Jentel Artist Residency offers dedicated individuals a supportive environment to further their creative development. Nestled in the foothills of the Big Horn mountains, artists, writers, and composers experience unfettered time to allow for thoughtful reflection and meditation on the creative process.
Jentel awards residencies to artists, writers, and composers who are focused and serious about their intent, who may have proven themselves by publication, exhibition or performance or who may not necessarily be well advanced in their work, but who have developed a personal vision or voice. The program welcomes visual artists in all media and writers in fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry and composers in all genres of music.
Each resident is provided with living accommodations that include a private room and a shared common living area with kitchen and a separate studio space.
Anyone over 25 years of age who is a citizen of the United States is eligible to apply. Those currently enrolled in academic programs are ineligible to apply.
