Winter residencies are extended to alumni of the Djerassi Program as a means to maintain an association with our artists and to support them with additional opportunities to concentrate on their creative projects. Alumni artists working in the disciplines of visual arts, media arts, choreography, music composition and literature are encouraged to apply for a winter residency.
Applications from alumni who wish to collaborate with non-alumni artists are also welcome.

The artists listed below were in residence at our SMIP Ranch facilities during two separate periods: November 26 - December 18, 2012 and January 2 - 23, 2013.
