Resident artist program located northwest of Woodside in a remote section of the Santa Cruz mountains is certainly worth the drive to check out. Docent lead tours take place every Sunday and are available by reservation at the website. The dose that we talk about the history of the place and there's a lot of history going back to the days of the Indians and the dose that will take you on a 3 mi hike to enjoy some of the amazing structures produced by the artist who are in residence for one month. Flora and fauna are also discussed. If you have a large group of friends you can make arrangements for a private tour at another time of the week.
I give this place a... Five

As an environmental artist, being on the 580 acres of wilderness was a powerful experience. I'll never forget the richness of the land - the Oaks, Pines, Redwoods, wild irises, Bobcats, Deer, the migration of newts. Being around fellow artists every day, sharing discussions over dinner or late into the evening - such excellence and challenge. One of the great months of my life!

This is a truly beautiful place. I loved going to Nova's workshop here. The food is to die for and they really are amazing at accommodating everyone's needs. The space is big and they give you plenty of free space to work on your writing or art.

A hidden gem of the Bay Area with sweeping panoramic views of ocean and mountains, and private trails full of art. Sign up for their free sculpture tours, or apply online for a residency if you're an artist!

This is a fantastic institution that does great work for artists. I always enjoy making the drive for the annual Artful Harvest. The event is catered by the Village Pub so the food is of excellent quality.
