Spend 3 weeks in a private cottage to work on your art. Pond Farm is located in Northern California, Sonoma County, California, Above Armstrong Redwoods, in the town of Guerneville, California. It is a 15 minute drive to Guerneville and the Russian River, and a 40 minute drive to the Sonoma Coast to the town of Jenner, California. Questions? Stewards@stewardscr.org.
The Artist in Residence Program at Pond Farm is administered by Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods in partnership with California State Parks. The program welcomes artists working across a wide range of visual, literary, and performance-based disciplines, including interdisciplinary practices. Artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, lived experiences, and artistic perspectives are encouraged to apply.
Artists reside in Lanier House, the guest cottage of the historic Pond Farm Pottery property, which includes an historic barn built in the late 1800s, Wildenhain’s house, and the guest cottage. Artists are free to work in the studio workspace of the barn or in the barn’s covered breezeway, and outside in nature. The ADA-accessible guest cottage is fully equipped, including internet access. Residents are responsible for providing their own transportation. Please include any specific living or studio needs in your application. The residency is awarded only to individuals, not to couples or groups of artists due to the amenities and utilities available on site.
Cost and Julia Terr Fellowship
Once accepted, there is a fee of $500 for the three-week, onsite living residency. The Julia Terr
Fellowship supports residencies for and gives priority to artists from historically marginalized groups (including Asian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, people from low-income or working-class families, and people whose parents have not had the benefits of a college education). The goal of the fellowship program is to welcome diverse artists and writers to work on specific projects or investigate new areas of interest. The Julia Terr Fellowship underwrites the $500 fee for these artists and in addition provides a stipend of $400 to help cover food and travel expenses.
