Playa, in south central Oregon, is a retreat for creative individuals
who are committed and passionate about their work and who will
benefit from time spent in a remote location. Playa offers seclusion
and quiet in a natural environment and the opportunity for
interaction, if desired, with a cohort of residents and the local
rural community. A residency provides the time and space to create
substantive work or to research and reflect upon one's creative or
scientific processes. Away from the urgencies of daily life,
residents can focus on their projects, immerse in a desert landscape
of basin and rangeland, and find inspiration through self-directed inquiry.
