Jentel Artist Residencies
Jentel Arts (Banner, Wyoming)
Experience time apart from daily concerns. Experience a place where the time passes in the quiet certitude as it did 50 to 100 years ago. Experience the remarkable landscape and atmosphere of a working cattle ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Experience solitude balanced with the opportunity for community.
Jentel is especially attractive to those who wish to take responsibility for themselves and their daily routine, while they focus on their work and creative development. Any visual artist or writer over 25 currently residing in the United States or any U.S. citizen living abroad is eligible. Individuals currently enrolled in an academic institution are ineligible to apply until after they complete their program.
Age, ethnicity, gender, or religious associations are of no significance in considering individuals for residency awards.
