Residency on Carpenter Ranch, Hayden, Colorado

September 1-30, 2010
Deadline for applications is May 30, 2010

Colorado Art Ranch, and The Nature Conservancy of Colorado, will host three artists at Carpenter Ranch near Hayden, Colorado in September 2010. This will be an annual residency. Residents will live on the ranch and will have a great deal of space to roam and work. Each resident will work on the ranch a few hours each week, and give a presentation of their work (current or past) in a small gathering near the end of their stay. There will also be one day of working with school groups that come out to the ranch.

Special Transdisciplinary Collaboration in Lake City, Colorado

Summer, 2011
Deadline for proposals is October 15, 2010

Colorado Art Ranch is hosting a unique, transdisciplinary residency using the arts to envision uses for the Ute Ule Mine, an inactive silver mine in Lake City. We encourage professionals from the arts, sciences, and humanities to apply. A diverse group of five to seven applicants will be chosen to form the Collaboration Team.

The residency will end with an Artposium in which the participants’ vision will be presented to a larger community. We hope for this to become a model for the arts as a catalyst for change. Read the Project Description and send us an email if you would like to receive an application. info(at)coloradoartranch.org

Salida

Salida, Colorado seems to be a favorite top choice for living, retiring, and recreating. It has been the favorite of several magazines and newspapers, from the New York Times ("The Outdoors Life With No Attitude," December 2008) to the U.S. News and World Report Magazine ("one of the top ten affordable retirement communities in the US"). In late 2008, Diversion Magazine called Salida "one of the 10 best places you've never heard of," an "off-the-radar" destination with lots to offer but without the Colorado resort prices. A few years earlier, in 2004, Outside Magazine called it a "sweetly unpretentious town" and one of 20 "Dream Towns + Adventure Hideouts (& Sweet Land Deals)." Additionally, this town of about 5500 residents was included in the guidebook America's 100 Best Small Art Towns.

Hayden

Hayden and Steamboat Springs are located in the beautiful Routt County. The area support a grreat array of ranching, hunting, skiing, kayaking/floating, fishing, hiking and bird-watching.

Lake City

Lake City is located in Hinsdale county, the least populated county in the lower 48 states. The area is known for it's excellent fly fishing, 14,000 foot peaks, and a scenic byway that goes up over engineer pass to Ouray (FWD only). Most of the land in Hinsdale county is public and affords some great recreation and un-paralleled beauty.
