ABOUT MARBLE HOUSE PROJECT
Mission
Marble House Project is a multi-disciplinary artist residency program that fosters collaboration & the exchange of ideas by providing an environment for artists across disciplines to live and work side by side.
With a focus on conservation of natural resources, integration of small-scale organic food production, and the arts, residents sustain their growth by cultivating and participating in the surrounding grounds, working on their artistic vision and forging partnerships within the community.
Marble House Project is founded on the belief that the act of creating, whether in the studio or in nature, is how human potential expands and community thrives.
Residency
Marble House Project launched the Artist Residency Program in the summer of 2014. Each year, we host six residency sessions each lasting three weeks, and one 17-day residency for artists and their families.
Artists groups are multidisciplinary, which include artists working in film and video, literature, visual arts, music and composition, dance and performance. Our residency program is uniquely curated to bring together a diverse group of artists to facilitate exchange of different expertise, histories, techniques and perspectives.
In 2017, Marble House Project introduced two new programs: The Culinary Artist Residency and The Collaborative Residency.

Sustainable Practice
Marble House Project includes an organic farm and is committed to sustainable practices and the conservation of natural resources.
We grow as much of our own organic food as possible to meet the needs of our residency program.
We respect our soil and watershed, so we never use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
We maintain a low-waste campus by conserving water and energy, composting, recycling, and locally sourcing materials and labor.
Many of our residents choose to deepen their awareness of our practices by participating in the planting and harvesting on our farm.
