Artist in Residence Program

About the Open Call

Wild Basin hosts two artists per year: in spring and in fall. Artists are provided a small budget for materials, supplies, and equipment, a modest stipend, and access to work space within the Wild Basin Creative Research Center and the preserve’s trail system. Selected artists must donate a piece created during or inspired by the residency, present two workshops, work on premises at least one day per week, and exhibit works at the Wild Basin Visitor Gallery.

What is Offered
