The program is open to professional visual, literary, and performance artists: painters, writers, musicians, architects, filmmakers, and choreographers… any artist who needs a place to focus. However, because of the property’s limitations and proximity to neighbors, this is not a place that can accommodate loud or terribly messy processes, such as welding or blacksmithing. Work that is predominantly conceptual, that must be explained in order to attract a viewer, may not be met with as much enthusiasm by their jurists. In addition, because they ask their residents to interact with the public through one workshop and one final event, they welcome artists who desire to connect with an audience in these ways.
