Planning your application

Artists should approach The Ou Gallery with a clear sense of how the retreat's unique environment will inform their practice. Proposals that demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with place, process, and community are favored over fully resolved projects. It is advisable to review past residents' work to understand the gallery's ethos. Applications should articulate specific intentions for the residency period, including how time and space at The Ou will contribute to the development of new work. Given the remote location, applicants should also consider logistical needs and express a willingness to participate in the communal aspects of the residency.
