Dorland Mountain Arts

Planning your application

Applications are typically accepted through an online portal, with deadlines announced on the website and social media. Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply, though the residency is best suited to those whose work can be pursued independently. The selection committee looks for a clear project proposal and evidence of a serious creative practice, but there is no requirement for finished work. Given the remote location, applicants should be prepared for limited cell service and a rustic, communal living environment. It is advisable to apply well before the deadline and to tailor your proposal to the unique opportunities for solitude and nature immersion that Dorland offers.
