The Sentient Meat residency is different by design. It’s not a short-term retreat or a corporate-run building—it’s a long-term, artist-led home where you can put down roots and build something meaningful with others.
You’ll have your own private studio room in a house shared with other artists, access to shared spaces (kitchen, laundry, workshop, gathering rooms), and the freedom to shape your time here. We welcome a wide range of disciplines—visual artists, musicians, writers, craftspeople, performers, and the wonderfully uncategorizable.
Residencies can last anywhere from one month to five years, and most residents contribute $600/month to help keep the space running (utilities included). If that’s a stretch, we have options—like our Shared Effort Initiative, where you can offset some of that cost by helping out around the property.
We don’t just want artists to pass through—we want you to feel at home. That’s why we offer things like:
The application process is friendly and thoughtful—portfolio and application submission, interview, and mutual fit check. We don’t gatekeep based on degrees or gallery credits, we care about your practice, your values, and how you show up in community.
We currently have room for up to four resident artists in our primary residency, with a second property opening up for residencies soon.
Our next potential opening is in June 2026.
All residency program activity is operated under the safer spaces policy.
