◭ ARTIST RESIDENCY ◮

Our artist residency program is rooted in the idea that The Colony is only as strong as the community of voices and visions that come together to help raise it from the sands of the Anza Borrego desert. We want this place to be an epicenter of freedom, creativity and authenticity, with architecture and experiences that inspire every visitor to identify what those ideas mean for them personally.

Inspiration is an inherent result of awe, and thus our goal is to leave people awestruck.

Channeling creative energy and making it manifest on the earthly plane is a gift and a talent that we don’t take lightly. So while we have our own plans for where our Nomadic landscape is headed, we also recognize that inviting fellow visionaries to contribute is a path to reaching an even fuller potential. We want to see the world through the eyes of those who can translate emotions and ideas into tangible, interactive, groundbreaking structures. Installations of light, towers of metal, shapes and forms that are yet to be imagined or identified.

In the true spirit of an artist residency, we’ll provide the facilities, the materials, the housing, the dining, and (of course) the off-hour diversions, and you’ll bring your own unique perspective on life and a desire to create something that will have a lasting and impactful message for all who encounter it. We’ll collaborate to develop a comprehensive plan for promotion and sharing from everyone’s various channels – social media and otherwise – so the work you accomplish here will get the attention it’s asking for, and inevitably we’ll come up with some extra little perks and swag to officially memorialize your time with The Colony artist collective … not that we think you’ll have any trouble remembering it. This land is powerful, and yet largely inaccessible save for a few remote locations. We’re offering the opportunity to tap into the energy here, to return to a more natural state of being, while also immersing yourself in a community that only seeks to lift you up so that we might all rise together.
