FOUND & RAW MATERIALS FOR YOUR ARTISTIC EXPLORATION

The experience starts in a giant shared space — Is it a warehouse? A workshop? There are people, and materials, everywhere. The energy is electric with ideation and collaboration, an artist collective in symbiotic motion. Manifestations of shapes, colors, and forms are floating through the air, seeking an available mind to channel them forward. Will it be you?

We believe that vision comes more willingly if you create a welcoming portal for it. Inspiration has a tendency to slip around, sidestep and evade even the most dedicated seekers. So often a tease. At The Colony, our focus is on providing deliberate opportunities for channeling of all kinds — whatever wants to move through you is encouraged here. Our logic is that if an inclusive, expansive, uninhibited environment is cultivated, how can inspiration be far behind?

We are building structures inside of which creation can flourish. A forge for all the metal workers and welders. A pottery wheel and kiln if throwing clay is your meditation and medium. An on-site collection of found objects and materials to be examined and used at your whim. Not to mention, a communal center for collaborative idea-generation and vision-holding. Artists need other artists to mirror and reflect their own potential, to define and hone innovative concepts, to discover new ways of exploring imaginative impulses. We are laying the foundation for our residents to achieve a higher level of creative consciousness — the kind that is possible when given the correct amount of space, liberation, and support.

How can you not tap into the golden flow when you’re surrounded by so many others doing the same? Let’s work together to pull those castles right out of the sky and set them gently into these desert sands.
