When artists are given time to be fully present in the now, creativity follows.

At Hewnoaks, we offer that rare gift – uninterrupted time and space to create, reflect, and connect, free from distractions and demands. Your support makes it possible for artists to simply be here now. 

Every donation directly supports:

• Free residencies that remove financial barriers for artists at all stages of their careers
• A no-cost, no-strings-attached model that prioritizes focus, community, and reflection over production requirements
• The care and preservation of our historic lakeside campus on Kezar Lake

For more than a decade, Hewnoaks has welcomed nearly 500 artists and hosted hundreds more through community events, retreats, and workshops. Your generosity ensures that this place, and the inspiration it sparks, continues to thrive for years to come.
