Located on 100 acres of rolling hills and woods,
Cub Creek Foundation’s rural, peaceful setting and wood-fire kiln facility provide the unique opportunity for emerging and established artists to fully immerse themselves in their development, research, and reflection in the ceramic arts.

Many artists take this time to develop new bodies of work, explore sustainability by researching wild clays found on the property, and participate in communal wood-firings.

Beyond the residency program, Cub Creek Foundation is proud to offer additional opportunities for local artists which include demonstrations, wood-fire workshops, and studio & kiln rentals.

Opportunities at Cub Creek Foundation

  • Artist-In-Residence Program

    CCF offers short and long term options for emerging and established artists looking to focus on developing their work.

    During the duration of their residency, artists live and work together on the property while engaging with Cub Creek’s remote, tranquil setting. This environment creates a strong sense of community marked by shared meals, insight and critique, studio upkeep, and group firings.

    Living offsite is an option and is the responsibility of the artist to find their own housing. No pets are allowed in the resident’s house. If an artists needs to bring their pet, they need to find off site housing. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
