dorland mountain arts residency program

Open Call for Artist Residents Dorland Mountain Arts Residency is a beautiful retreat where artists, writers, musicians and composers can create in a secluded and protected natural setting. Dorland is located near Temecula Valley Wine Country, about 100 miles south of Los Angeles and sixty miles north of San Diego.

The Residency Program provides a secluded working retreat for national and international artists, writers, musicians and composers.

Dorland invites residency requests from visual, literary (or other writing) and composing or performing artists. Residency stays may be as short as one week or as long as two months, based on requests and availability. Individual cottages are complete with WiFi, window AC, good cell phone reception, kitchen, bathroom, workspace, and a covered porch with magnificent mountain, canyon and Temecula Valley views. One cottage includes a Steinway baby grand piano and another has a Kimball baby grand. The Community Arts Center provides a library with Dorland works and a large writing desk with a typewriter, a meeting room, and a studio room for visual artists. The extensive grounds feature a reflecting pond, a small lake with rowboat, and hiking trails wind through the property.
