Residency
Recognizing the need for rest, research, and retreat in the creative process, Oberon places no demands on how artists engage the residency. The space is intentionally crafted to host a single artist or a small collective, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. Invited residents have the opportunity to live and work in a secluded home, surrounded by serene forests and waterways, for periods ranging from six to twelve weeks.
Each resident is invited to recommend ten books to be added to our growing library.
The residency is invitation-only at this time.
