Six Artists. One French Farmhouse. Unlimited Potential.

A week-long, international gathering for mid-career artists and cultural workers seeking rest, rejuvenation, community, and inspiration. A group of six like-minded artists will convene with no set expectations or requirements!

ASH is a test ground to nurture ourselves, each other, and our work, without any actionable metrics tied to the process. The process itself is life-affirming and nurturing. We practice what we wish to see in the world including; collaboration, connectivity, sustainability, healing, justice, joy, wholeness, and belonging.

Supporting artists of color, female-identifying, LGBTQ+, and those creating work that support and care for community
Mid-career/established artists with a personal and/or independent practice
