Creekside Arts Artist-Residency Program

Creekside Arts offers three-week residencies from mid-May to early June to poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers among the coastal redwoods of Freshwater, California. Residents are provided with a private room, kitchen, and bathroom in a cottage, cabin, tiny house, or Airstream trailer, a studio, and access to collaborative work spaces where gatherings are held with other residents, permanent members of the Creekside Arts community, and artists from the larger Humboldt County. Residents are responsible for most meals and for transportation to and from the residency. To apply, submit a writing sample of two to three pages, a résumé, a personal statement, an artist statement, and two references with a $20 application fee by February 15.
