Programa de Artistas Residentes da Djerassi

Where Art Originates Each year, artists from around the world are awarded the gift of time + space—a one-month residency on our 583-acre ranch in northern California’s Santa Cruz Mountains.

The work undertaken here shapes the world’s culture. Photo Credit: Robert Buelteman The Land Inspires We enjoy a mythical renown among artists—many of whom talk about the Djerassi “magic.” Here, in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty, artists can just BE—to dream, dare, collaborate and create.

In their studios, choreographers imagine dances, writers generate words, composers see notes and visual artists create images.

Work that couldn’t have existed any other way takes shape, catches fire, and becomes real.
