Ucross is an artist residency program located on a 20,000-acre ranch at the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains of northern Wyoming
Over the past 40 years, Ucross has grown into a vital and relevant resource for artists of all backgrounds and disciplines, who travel to the remote ranch from across the nation and the world. The uninterrupted time and space offered in the majestic High Plains are increasingly rare. The connections built within its community are of great importance.
Ucross strives to provide a respectful, comfortable, and productive environment, freeing artists from the pressures and distractions of daily life. The residency program provides each artist with living accommodations, private work space, and uninterrupted time, so the artists can focus on their creative process. Lunch and dinners are prepared Monday through Friday by a professional chef, with access to a world-class kitchen and ample provisions on hand for breakfasts and weekends. Lunches are delivered to individual studios; group dinners take place at 6 p.m. Towels and linens are provided, as is weekly housekeeping for bedrooms.
Residents are responsible for providing their own working materials. There is no residency charge, and Ucross offers a $1,000 stipend.
