Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture Artist Residency
Deadline: June 20th, 2025
2026 Theme: Adaptation
All living things respond to a changing environment through adaptation, but what is the mysterious alchemy behind it? What catalysts lie within our world that spark individuals and whole species to adjust their characteristics? Adaptation is a demonstration of flexibility, openness and a desire not just to survive, but to thrive. Whether it takes milliseconds or millennia, a lifetime or generations, the process of adaptation holds infinite hope for the future. Join us in 2026, exploring the theme of Adaptation and all of its potential.
Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture invites artists, scientists, scholars and writers to apply for our 8th annual residency program in picturesque Sisters, Oregon.
