Time to concentrate on my practice. Fantastic surroundings, nature, house and studio situation. The staff is very helpful. Stipend to cover living costs and travel. I could bring my dog, and my husband stayed there for free for a large part of my residency. It is a bit remote, so if you don't like to be alone, it may be not a place for you. I brought my car, but the residency has a car that the residents can use. There are not so many social happenings (a few meetings). So you have to reach out to the other artists for this.
