Since its founding in 2009, PLAYA has provided residencies to hundreds of artists and scientists. These gifts of time have allowed room for deep work, far-reaching conversations, and sustaining connections to community.

Visit PLAYA
Come to PLAYA to sample the space and solitude that is so valued by residents in the arts and scientists. Our monthly PLAYA Presents are perfect opportunities to step into this landscape for awhile.
“The vista, the brightness, the heat, the dust and the silence were wonderful.”
