Fall Residency
Come to Sable during possibly the most beautiful month of the year (at least the person writing this description thinks so!). Join in the harvest and bounty from the Fat Dragon Farm gardens, find inspiration in the Sable Land, and dig into your solo practice away from the distraction of the grid.
This Residency is for adult artists of all ages and disciplines, but specifically for artists confident in their creative processes and willing to work on solo projects. Much like the fall season, this residency is a quieter, more introspective option than our summer residency. There will be fewer artists on the land (only up to 6), and the focus will be on diving deep into your creative work. Applicants are asked to outline a project they are interested in working on. Residency is 10 days long in September. Residents will have an opportunity to share their work at our September public Food and Art event.
Fall Residency Dates:
September 5-15
Application Deadlines:
1st priority deadline: March 15th
2nd priority deadline: May 15th
Residency Fee:
$500 for 10 days. This fee contributes to the cost of food, general supplies, and infrastructure provided during your residency.
***NOTE*** Please take note of our BIPOC Artist Fund, which offers grants for Summer/Fall/Guest Artists in Residence. If you are Black, Indigenous, and/or a Person of Color, you are eligible for a fully or partially-funded residency! Make sure to check the box on the application.
In addition, all Sable Artists are expected to participate in 6 hours per week of work-trade. A part of our residency is physical engagement with the communal spaces/land. This consists of work in our partner Fat Dragon Farm’s gardens (on the Sable Land; to grow the food we eat!), and various work around Sable - which includes cooking and cleaning our communal spaces, and may include trail building, brush moving, small construction projects, or various other jobs. These work times have been integral to life at Sable since our very beginning. They also provide a break from your art practice and are a good opportunity to spend time with your fellow Residents.
If accepted, you will be asked to send a $150 non-refundable deposit (which will count towards your residency fee) along with your final commitment.
It is important to us that Sable is accessible to all! No one will be turned away if you can't afford our residency fee. Please contact us at apply@thesableproject.org for scholarship opportunities.

Our application fee contributes to the cost of processing applications and planning our season. We also hope that it inspires potential applicants to pause and submit their best work. Please contact us at apply@thesableproject.org if you have any questions or concerns.
