Community Artist Gatherings

All events are by invitation and free with donations going to the artists.

Artists come to Mt. Foolery not just to work, but to breathe, wander the trails, watch the river flow, and follow the thread of an ideaโ€”wherever it leads. Residencies are offered through a simple application process, and last anywhere from one to six weeks. Meals are provided, so the day can unfold without distraction.

Sharing the Work

At the conclusion of each residency cycle, the grounds open, and the public is invited to a Sunday gathering to experience what has been created โ€” concerts, readings, installations, or works still in process. These are not necessarily performances of perfection, but celebrations of process and courage.
