artist residency: winter/spring sessions

Experience time apart from daily concerns. Experience a place where the time passes in the quiet certitude as it did 50 to 100 years ago. Experience the remarkable landscape and atmosphere of a working cattle ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Experience solitude balanced with the opportunity for community.

Dates: Winter/Spring Sessions

For three week residencies taking place January 15th – May 7th

The Jentel Artist Residency Program is located on a working cattle ranch 20 miles southeast of Sheridan (Population nearing 20,000). Set in the rolling sage hills along Piney Creek, numerous buildings cluster one of the original ranch houses, which serve as a reception center. Spectacular views of the Big Horn Mountains are set against an ever-changing backdrop of light and sky.

Residencies provide time, space, and facilities for research, experimentation, and production of work and ideas in the visual and literary arts. Residents are at liberty to structure their own time and activity. They may choose to maintain their privacy or to engage with other residents and activities at Jentel.

Each resident is offered separate living accommodations and workspace. Large, well-lighted studios are equipped with running water and adequate light for late work. Writers need to bring their own writing materials and laptops. Areas inside and outside are reserved for residents. Common spaces include a library, a recreation area, and a great room. A large kitchen adjacent to the living area may be used for food and meal preparation. A weekly stipend is provided to help defray personal expenses.
