The residency runs from October 6th to 31st, 2027, providing a $4,000 stipend, a private house with studio, three bedrooms, a piano, recording booth and panoramic ocean views. Residents receive a studio, housing, events, publicity, and the chance to present a public program at the park. The program is open to single artists, couples, families, collectives, and troupes, with no nationality restrictions. Application fees are $60 for a single artist, $120 for a couple or duo, and $160 for groups of three or more.
