About
The Residency Project (TRP) in Silverton, Colorado, offers a unique artist residency experience situated at 9,318 feet in the San Juan Mountains. This program emphasizes creative research, reflection, and connection rather than production, allowing artists to draw inspiration from the stunning natural landscape. Acknowledging the land’s history and the Ute Indians’ heritage, TRP respects and honors the indigenous roots of the area. The Retreat @ 1303 provides accommodations, studio space, programmed excursions, and group meals, fostering a collaborative and exploratory environment. TRP champions creative experimentation, equity, diversity, inclusion, social justice, and environmental justice. Founded in 2018 by artist Sarah Umles, TRP evolves with each artist-in-residence, embracing co-authorship in redefining the artist residency model. Influenced by Joseph Beuys’ social sculpture and Nicolas Bourriaud’s relational aesthetics, TRP envisions itself as an adaptable, itinerant project open to new spaces and collaborations.
