Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture 2023 Residency Application Period ends October 14

Artists, scholars, scientists and other creative thinkers have 10 days left to apply for the Sisters, Oregon annual on-site residency program

SISTERS, OR, USA, October 4, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture (PMRCAA), a working ranch in Sisters, Oregon focused on arts, agricultural and ecological projects, will close the application process for its 2023 Residency Program on October 14, 2022. This year’s theme focuses on “Food and Agriculture”, seeking to explore food’s role in prosperity, sustainability and community resilience, as well as aiming to improve understanding of regional community food systems.

For this residency cycle artists, culture bearers, scientists, scholars and researchers whose work reflects on the theme of food and agriculture as foundational expressions of life are encouraged to apply by the deadline. PMRCAA will host two or three residents at a time for two or four-week residencies, during which time they will have their own studio space and living quarters as well as engaging with the greater community.

The Residency Program is seeking individuals who, while immersing themselves in their work and artistic practices in a beautiful setting, will also contribute to the ranch and participate in community outreach and educational projects. Residents specializing in a wide variety of disciplines have participated in past programs, creating fine art and other projects, while participating in ranching activities, holding community workshops, artist talks, open studios and occasionally participating in ranching activities.

The PMRCCA Residency Program began in 2018 and has grown since then to accommodate more individuals, and increased engagement opportunities for residents on the ranch and in the local community. The 2023 application portal opened in July 2022, and the application period closes on October 14, 2022. More information on the Residency Program can be found here.
