Artist Residency

The Missouri Ozarks. Ancient, worn down mountains dotted with small towns and family farms, it is a land of wooded trails, mountain glades, deep caves, and crystal clear steams and rivers. Nearly a million and a half acres comprise the Mark Twain National Forest, in addition there are many Missouri State Parks and Wildlife Conservation areas. Creatives have found inspiration here for over 150 years.

The Artist Residency program sponsored by Ozarks Art is a retreat for artist and creatives who are passionately dedicated to their work, and will benefit from time away from their daily lives in a peaceful, inspiring location.

We offer the time and space to create work, or to research and reflect on your creative process, away from the urgencies of daily life. The program also exposes local patrons, students, and working artists to levels of work normally available only in larger urban areas.
