Our goal is to provide emerging and established artists a serene environment for creative exploration that is inspired by living in nature and is reflected in the art practice.
Set in the midst of the Bishop Pine Nature Preserve in Inverness, California the J.B. Blunk Residency offers a home, studio and outdoor clearings for work. The home and studio, built by J.B. Blunk in 1959, with salvaged materials, suggest a certain lifestyle that is independent, sustainable and closely connected to the landscape. Because of J.B.'s profound connection to the surrounding environment the hope is that the residency program will foster work inspired by the site.
The J.B. Blunk Residency is a program of the Lucid Art Foundation, a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Lucid Art’s vision is to support artists who are committed to living in harmony with nature and have dedicated their lives to creating works of art that are in deeper relation to the dimensions of the inner-worlds and nature.
