About

We are an artist retreat community welcoming all writers, painters, fashion designers, visual designers, sculptors, musicians, multi-media artists, filmmakers, photographers, culinary artists, and creative people. The core value and intention of our community is to provide a quiet and exotic space for artists to find themselves and develop their artistic voice. We seek to separate ourselves from the traditional artist residency mentality. We welcome artists of all kinds; whether you’re an aspiring, emerging, or an established artist. We provide community for people wishing to retreat into the countryside. Unlike most residency formats, we have no requirement for artists to produce work during their stay. We believe rather in giving people the opportunity to slow down, recharge, and incubate on new ideas. While staying at Little Poems Community, artists can create as much or as little work as they choose.
