The Micro-Residency at Bischoff Inn offers artists a clean, calming and peaceful space for study, work and relaxation. Residencies last for 1 or 2 weeks and are equal parts relaxation and productive work time. Our program attracts artists with many responsibilities (working artists, families, teachers) looking to make the most of their vacation days and seeking a way to integrate art making into their valuable time off. Our cohort of artists includes writers, poets, fashion designers, scholars, photographers, sculptors, composers, and those working in painting and drawing.
There is no application fee. The base residency fee is $375 per week.
All Summer Session Micro-Residency (May 1 - September 30) artists receive:
- A semi-private workspace ranging in size from 550-668 square ft each per artist, located in a separate building on our property called the Lumber Shed
