About the residency
The Montello Foundation, established in 2011, provides artists, writers, and composers with a solitary retreat in the high desert of Nevada. Founded by artist Peter Montello, the foundation's ethos centers on the transformative power of isolation and immersion in a stark, remote landscape. Its mission is to offer uninterrupted time and space for creative work, free from the distractions of daily life, fostering deep engagement with one's practice.

Applicants should demonstrate a clear need for solitude and a genuine interest in engaging with the desert environment. The foundation seeks artists at any career stage with a strong project or body of work that would benefit from the retreat. Applications are typically accepted annually, with details on the website. It is advisable to articulate how the unique setting will influence your work and to be prepared for a self-directed, off-grid experience.
