1. Click the "Apply Here" button at the top of this page.

2. We set up a Zoom to discuss the residency in more detail.

3. Typically, our process takes 3 calls. The first is a get to know each other. The second gets into your work process, what you want to explore. The third call involves any remaining questions and logistics.

4. We do not judge your creative work. We want to see it, understand your process and what you are looking to explore.

5. Acceptance into The Neuro: Artist Residency program has much to do with everyone feeling comfortable that this is a good time and fit for the artist to participate.

Right now, we do not have a waitlist.

As a way to get acquainted with The Neuro, our virtual Artist Mentorship program offers a first step into the experience. It can serve as a building block of support as you consider this residency.

This is perfect. We understand that many of us have spent our lives not identifying as an Artist, even though we create. We welcome you. This is a safe place to learn and explore.

The time is yours to create, connect, be in nature, or use it to reset, gain new perspectives, or learn something new.

We respect that each artist and person is unique, and on their own journey. What works for one person doesn’t work for another.

It is through this lens that we do not structure time for each person.

We are open to co-creating with each group in residency to make the time as enriching as possible for each participant.

We also deeply respect the individuality of each persons nervous system capacity.

We will have at least 3 other Artists. There may be 4. Some people may bring partners, or there may be a family.

The Artist Mentorship Program is a great way to explore your art practice. It is a virtual meeting. You cannot be in both programs at once. You can apply to attend the Artist Residency 3 months after your Artist Mentorship program is complete.

Yes.

Application fees for Residency & Mentorship programs are $25.

We ask the Artist-in-Residency (AIR) to donate $1,200. This fee covers part of our operating costs and represents our gratitude for Birch Creek Service Ranch. Housing is included as part of the AIR. We rely on donors and community members to fund the additional operating costs of this program.

We can set-up payment plans for anyone.

If you are thriving and want to pay a residency forward, there are people who would benefit from this loop of generosity and scholarship. Talk to us about this.

Yes. We want to make this as accessible as possible. Particpants have used self managed “go-fund me” campaigns to get to The Neuro. People can donate to your residency directly through our site. Financial concerns will be addressed during the AIR call after you apply. We are not in a position to offer scholarships at this time, although it is our goal to do that in the future.

We are working on this. The short answer is: Yes, we will have options and suggestions.

Yes. Additional fee structures will be in place. An individual fee is $250. Families fees are based on needs, availability, and number of humans.

The Bunk House can be set up as a live-work studio. The Lodge will have working stations set up too.

We have a beautiful shop featured in the photographs. Some artists may end up using this space as their workspace.

There is a Yurt with a fire stove on the property. It could be used as a workspace. Additionally, three raised tents could be used as workspace during certain times of the year. There is no heat.

Spring City and Ephraim are a well of artistic talent and knowledge. We can draw on our relationships to support your expansion through artist talks, and studio and gallery visits. We can connect you with teaching artists if you want to explore a new medium.

Our residents have attended the weekly artist talks at Snow College, and gone to the planetarium, other performances and even art class demonstrations at Snow College.

It is has been wildly enriching for the artists.
