A two-week residency focused on refection and critical thinking. A space has been created for artists to reflect, contemplate, muse; an intimate cabin that calls for your thoughts to fill it, not data from the web, nor impressions from critics, curators, or collectors – designed simply for your voice.
The residency welcomes composers, choreographers, performance artists, and visual artists.
The residency provides you with your very own private cabin, and abundant possibilities to connect with nature, plus just a train ride to Chicago and its dynamic art scene. The cabin sits on the bank of Crystal Lake, where you can reflect while kayak spring through fall and ice fish during the winter.
Submissions are open year round. For more information please check the website:
