The WOMB residency program is open to creatives from diverse disciplines; painters, dancers, musicians, writers, builders, artisans, designers, multimedia artists, sculptor, philosophers, among others. There are currently two spaces available for residents. One space is in the main house and the other is a private, independent apartment. Residents are invited to live this experience for up to one month, depending on the nature of their project or research. Each resident must create an event/experience for the community and a product for the store related to their work during the residency. Ask about our costs.

While in residence at WOMB, artists are encouraged to create works that use a high percentage of recycled materials and do not generate excess waste. The use of toxic materials is not permitted. We strive to operate WOMB as a waste-free space and are looking for artists who are open to finding creative solutions to the problem of trash in order to be kind to the local environment.
