Number of Participants

Three to five artists can be in residence at one time. The studio layout is perfect for individual work and contemplation, and many artists choose to come to In Cahoots to work on their own projects. The private guest houses provide space to think, write and research. Working alongside other artists in the studio helps stimulate ideas and leads to new ways of working, influence, and sharing of techniques. As an additional option, artists may choose to come for a collaborative residency session. For these sessions, artists are encouraged to sign up in pairs or small groups (up to 5 people) to work together, to combine disciplines and voices, to be engaged in creative conversations. The Director, Macy Chadwick, has 20 years of experience with collaborations and is available for consultation on the collaborative process. Occasionally artists are invited to the residency for specific collaborative projects.
