## About This Program

Dorland Mountain Arts is a beautiful retreat where artists, writers, musicians, and composers can create in a secluded and protected natural setting. Dorland is located near Temecula Valley Wine Country, about 100 miles south of Los Angeles and sixty miles north of San Diego.

Individual cottages are complete with WiFi, window AC, good cell phone reception, kitchen, bathroom, workspace, and a covered porch with magnificent mountain, canyon and Temecula Valley views. One cottage includes a Steinway baby grand piano and another has a Kimball baby grand.

The Community Arts Center provides a library with Dorland works and a large writing desk with a typewriter, a meeting room, and a studio room for visual artists. The Jane Culp Studio features work tables, a Charles printing press (perfect for 12x24" linocuts, monotypes, collographs, etc), and cyanotype supplies.

The extensive grounds feature a reflecting pond, a small lake with a rowboat, and hiking trails that wind through the property.

Dorland invites residency requests from visual, literary (or other writing) and composing or performing artists. Residency stays may be as short as one week or as long as 8 weeks, based on requests and availability.
