Pine Meadow Ranch, a working ranch in Sisters, Oregon, operates an artist residency program through its affiliated foundation, the Roundhouse Foundation. The program provides artists, writers, and researchers with time and space to create work inspired by or engaging with themes of ecology, agriculture, and rural craft traditions.
The residencies are hosted on the 260-acre property, which includes pastures, forests, and wetlands. Residents have access to studio spaces and are encouraged to interact with the ranch's sustainable agricultural operations. The program supports a diverse range of disciplines, including visual arts, writing, music, and scientific research.
According to the Roundhouse Foundation, the initiative aims to foster a dialogue between creative practices and land stewardship. The foundation also supports other community and cultural projects across Oregon. Applications for residencies are typically reviewed on a seasonal basis, with selected participants receiving lodging, studio space, and a stipend.
