Looking for a place to tap into your inspiration? Seeking a bit of solitude in a suppor­tive environment where you can delve into your creative work? Longing for a venue to rejuvenate your senses and deepen an existing collaboration? In need of outside eyes and fresh perspective for a developing project?

Expanding on Bearnstow’s long history, we welcome individual artists and small groups of collaborative partners in any discipline to submit proposals to our Artist Retreat program. We provide a place for in-depth creative exploration amid a pris­tine, wooded lakeside setting, rich with natural beauty and a spirit of camaraderie.

We understand the need for having time and space to do one’s work. Diving deeply into artistic collaboration and inquiry, experimenting with motion, media, sound, text or other materials, your time at Bearnstow can help spark new projects or bring vital detail to those already in development. Sharing wholesome communal meals prepared for you and other artists frees up additional time for reflection and letting your imaginations wander. Our hope is that your time away from the stress of your daily routine, spent in our deeply restorative natural setting, will reignite your creative energies.
