The Site


Our site is intentionally simple and built to support time outdoors, creative work, and communal gathering. Infrastructure here is low-impact and evolving.


CAMPSITE




All artists camp. Bring your own tent, sleeping bag, and what you need to feel at home. The Blueberry Grove campsite is sheltered by tree canopy and wild blueberry bushes.



STUDIO



The studio runs on solar power and includes a slope sink, outdoor shower, mini fridge, and kitchen supplies. It's near the campsite, open around the clock.



THE HEX




Our activities deck is a place to make work, gather with other artists, or watch the light move through the sky.



FIELD KITCHEN



A pop-up field kitchen with propane grill, mini fridge, slope sink, utensils, and folding tables. Meals during Slow Work are prepared by working chefs.



FIRE PIT



Evenings gather here. No agenda.



Structures are intentionally simple, functional, and adaptable — inviting residents to slow down, participate, and be present.
