Time and space to focus on your artistic practice.
Bridge & Falls Creative Residency will be offered again in the summer of 2026.
The Residency
The Bridge & Falls Creative Residency offers artists substantial opportunities to develop their art practice further. The self-guided residency program is dedicated to offering artists, curators, and all manner of creative people the essential time and place away from the pressures and habits of everyday life and experience framed within a unique geographic and cultural context.
What the Artists Say
ON THE ROCK allowed me the time, space, and opportunity to put bundles of notes, pages, and thoughts in order. While I was there I was able to see what my writing project is and will become and I had hours of solitude to put words on the page. This is an amazing place where silence exists allowing artists to open their voices and hear the story.

My time at ON THE ROCK was a magical experience where I could develop my creative practice in a soul filling location in nature. Having the time and venue to focus solely on art was a fabulous opportunity—one that I would not have had, were it not for the creative residency. The SNNF community was also so supportive and welcoming.
