Giving artists time and space to create within a natural, rustic setting #hewnoaks
All gifts support our free residencies for artists - thank you!

BREAKING NEWS! We are excited to announce our 2023 artists-in-residence! This year, we received a record-breaking 299 applications and could have filled our facility many times over with deserving artists. We only wish we had more room to accommodate that abundance of talent. We are so thankful to our jurors for their conscientiousness and hard work reviewing the applications: Ashley Page, Shoshona Currier, Thalassa Raasch, Meg Hahn, Ian-Khara Ellasante, Aries White, Meghan Gilliss, and Caitlin Shetterley.

@culturalmaine is doing yeoman's work championing culture workers in this state. Their newest initiative, Cultural Heritage Week, will be an amazing showcase of Maine's creative vibrancy and Hewnoaks is proud to be a partner in this effort. We need advocates to represent the interests of culture workers and CAM has risen to the challenge in a big way. If you're an artist or an arts org, consider joining Hewnoaks in submitting to the Cultural Heritage Week Virtual Showcase. Help show lawmakers, leaders, and all residents of this state the diversity of creative activity and culture in the land we call Maine.

You, here.

There’re just two weeks before we close our application period on Feb. 28. Could you or someone you know use a week or ten days of uninterrupted art-making, lake-dipping and forest-bathing? Don’t forget we welcome applications from groups as well. Not many residencies are able to support large collaboratives, and we invite those who are co-creating bodies of work to take full advantage of the unusual flexibility of our layout.

"I didn't know how much sense artist residencies made until I went to Hewnoaks. As with many artists, doubts about my work's validity are capable of holding me up for long periods of time. But being able to experiment, process and reassure myself of the deeper values within my work in real time without the constant distractions of daily life was a complete game changer for me and my practice. Stepping outside of my normal patterns and space has completely opened new possibilities for me, and I don't know how I would have found that place without Hewnoaks." -2021 Hewnoaks Resident

Calling all artists! Hewnoaks 2023 application period opens NEXT WEEK on 2/1 (deadline: 2/28).

Interested in spending unstructured time working, wandering, studying, and dreaming on the shores of Kezar Lake in Maine? Each summer, more than 50 artists of all disciplines disconnect from their busy lives for 1-week or 10-day residencies between mid-June - early-October. Artists from all over are welcome, however, 75% of spaces are reserved for those who live in Maine. We also have a limited number of parent artist cash stipends to cover childcare costs at home thanks to @sustainablearts 🧡

Spread the word and watch for the application link on 2/1!
