Description
Self-Directed Residencies are for adults 18+ seeking time and space to immerse in their creative artistic or scientific work in an inspiring landscape and campus. We welcome anyone engaged in a creative artistic or scientific project, which could include art, research, nature immersion, and getting to know this land through day-excursions. Our spacious campus includes cabins and studios nestled against the edge of the Fremont-Winema National Forest’s Winter Rim on one side and the wide-open playa on the other. PLAYA’s location and rural setting is a natural incubator for creative breakthroughs and personal growth.
Self-Directed Residencies are fee-based, do not have an application process, and are available in a variety of 3- to 11-night options on specific dates. Please review our 2025 Know Before You Go Handbook to see if a Self-Directed Residency at PLAYA is right for you! There is limited cell service at PLAYA and no internet or tv in the cabins to help provide a focused environment. There is internet access and a landline in the main Commons lodge. Directions to PLAYA will be sent after your purchase. Meals are not included during Self-Directed Residencies.
