The 2025 Everwood Artist Retreat Administrator

 

Everwood was founded in 2014 with a mission to host inspiring spaces for artists to perform, teach and work in a natural environment. Through our Artist Series, a wide variety of professional artists perform in the 110-year-old barn. Artist Workshops are designed to inform and inspire both aspiring and professional artists with focused, hands-on teaching. And the Artist Retreat is designed for the professional artist who needs a nurturing space in a natural setting to advance a creative project in solitude. Artists from all over the country participate in the Artist Retreat from June to October every year.
