About

Adventurous artists and thinkers are invited to live and work at Hewnoaks from late June until late September each year. Residencies run from one to two weeks, depending on availability. Participants are accommodated in rustic cabins complete with basic kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.

Local Information

Situated on the eastern shore of Kezar Lake in Western Maine, Hewnoaks offers an extraordinary setting of inspiration and beauty. Hewnoaks is a historic property that was first developed by American painter Douglas Volk and his wife Marion Larrabee Volk. By resurrecting its art-making traditions we aim to honor its creative history and preserve its environmental integrity.
