Mission

The mission of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program is to support and enhance the creativity of artists by providing uninterrupted time for work, reflection and collegial interaction in a setting of great natural beauty, and to preserve the land upon which the Program is situated. Each year, approximately 60 residencies are awarded to applicants from around the world. Artists embrace this gift of time as a refuge from the demands of daily life in order to concentrate on the creative process. At no cost to the selected artists, residents are provided with living and studio accommodations, all meals and full administrative support. Since 1979 the Djerassi Resident Artists Program has served over 1,400 artists.

About

The Djerassi Resident Artists Program has provided over 2,200 artist residencies, and currently serves approximately 70-80 artists each year all free of charge. It is the largest artist residency program in the Western United States and considered among the best in the country. Each year dozens of artists from across the United States, and around the world, travel to the open hillsides and deep redwood forests of SMIP Ranch to take inspiration from the beautiful surroundings and seek refuge from the distractions of the world to concentrate on their creative projects. While in residence, the artists work in peaceful isolation within a supportive community of other artists and Program staff. Participants thrive on the intellectual stimulation and the collegial interaction in this intimate artist community.
