In 2017, SPACE is emboldening and recommitting to our belief that inclusion, equity, support and radical hospitality are not only important to creating art, but are vital in creating dialogue that leads to lasting change.
In support of these values, SPACE will:
- Make all individual and small group residences free in 2017.
- Endeavor to grant 50% of our residencies to persons of color and underrepresented voices.
- Double the number of spaces for our fully-subsidized Family Residency, in association with The Lilly Awards.
Applications for all programs close February 7th!

Apply to The Working Farm
"SPACE is one of the few places on Earth where I have felt genuine inspiration happen over and over again; out on the lake or alone at a desk, watching the sky change colors over the Bowling Green or in conversation with fellow artists, sitting around a bonfire or the dinner table deep into the morning, long past the plates being cleared. There is something magic in the air up there."
- Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, member of The Working Farm '14
Apply to the Creative Solutions Symposium
“The Creative Solutions Symposium gave our team time and space for deep, focused work. Being in residence with other artists, advocates, and community organizers who were also working on creative solutions to social justice issues helped me feel less siloed while inspiring me with ideas and approaches I hadn’t considered before.”
Apply to the Family Residency
“My time at SPACE was one of the most productive and happy times in my life. The land is inspiring, the staff is extraordinarily kind and caring, and the ethos makes one want to move and stay all year long. SPACE is completely artist centered, and the staff listens deeply to artists about what they need to thrive. The week I spent there was for parents and children, and was such a happy integration of my work and family life, It was more than a week of getting writing done—it was an experiment in how to live.”
- Sarah Ruhl, Family Residency '16

"When I'm in residence at SPACE, I write more and better. The fact that it’s beautiful and comfortable certainly helps, but more importantly SPACE puts the artist at the center."
