You may have heard artist friends talk about their nurturing experience at the Everwood Artist Retreat over the years. Now is your chance to submit an application to join us on the farm in 2027 to advance a creative project in a beautiful, natural setting.

One artist wrote to us after their retreat: “I do not think it possible that I could walk away from this reverie unchanged. Already I know that I will look back on this gift as one of the best things I’ve ever been a part of. I suppose the most appropriate way to thank you will be to return to the world a truer form of myself.”

That makes our hearts sing! It is exactly our hope in offering time, space and hospitality to artists. We say often, when our artists are happy, healthy and nurtured, it is good for everyone. The Artist Retreat is one of the most direct ways we can do that.

If you are not a practicing artist but know someone who could benefit from time at Everwood, please let them know.

We are grateful for the careful attention from Matt's Moving Company while transitioning the grand piano from the barn to the basement of the Retreat for the winter. Sleep well sweet piano. We look forward to hearing your music in the barn again next summer.

It’s our final podcast of “Conversations from the Barn” for the 2026 Artist Retreat season!

In this episode, we are joined by theater artist Karen Saari Karen Saari and visual artist Jessica Turtle Jessica Turtle , who came to the farm just as fall was starting to settle over Everwood. We talked with Karen and Jessica about the role that community plays in their art-making — for Karen, who collaborates with many different artists to realize a production, and for Jessica, whose public art engages community throughout her process.

We also say goodbye to Ellie Eklof ELLIE EKLOF as they wrap up their final week as our retreat coordinator.

Thank you to all of our 2026 Retreat Artists for bringing their magic to Everwood this year. As we say at the end of every podcast: wishing you all good health.

Our podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and our website.

The goats are missing all the visitors to Everwood, and so are we!! What’s a favorite memory you have of the farm from this summer? 🐐🥕

It’s hard to believe that the 2026 Everwood season has already come to a close. It is mighty quiet on the farm after a summer of music, friends, food, artists, and art making. And, the farm is still buzzing with all of your energy.

We have so many favorite memories from this year that we’re going to create a series of posts to celebrate them in November. We hope you’ll share what stood out for you too! For now, it feels good to see pictures of all the artists and performers who graced the barn with their particular magic. Hope it brings a smile to your faces. Cheers to an extraordinary season 14!

The sounds from our diligent lawn mower sent the next episode from “Conversations in the Barn” inside the retreat house where we spoke with multi-disciplinary artist Rhonda Willers Rhonda Willers and writer and musician Sarah Michelle Magill Quiet Takes

This shift prompted a conversation about the way Sarah and Rhonda related to space this week — both their physical work spaces and the space of time they found on retreat. We also talked about ways they will be implementing a little more space for creativity in their lives back home.

Our podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and our website.

🐣🐓 Big addition in the coop today! We’re slowly introducing 4 adorable young chicks to our flock of 4 adult chickens. Here’s hoping for a smooth transition and a little pecking-order patience as our feathered family doubles in size!

The next “Conversations from the Barn” podcast is with writer Chris Clayton and visual artist Alex M. Peterson

In this conversation, we talk about the gift of time and what it means to be productive, especially as an artist. As Alex and Chris conclude, “productivity” can mean spending 8 hours working on your creative practice, but it can also mean spending a day disconnecting from work, wandering in the forrest, or even taking the time to get a hair cut.

Our podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and our website.

Last Sunday, we said a very teary goodbye to Ellie Eklof as they head to the east coast to begin their next grand adventure. Ellie has been our exuberant Retreat Administrator for the 2026 season.

Anyone who got to connect with Ellie this summer was surely effected by their bright energy and joy for life. Glitter was literally shared with everyone at our Artist Series performances. The Retreat artists got special care, attention, and unexpected stories all through the week. We think, in the end, the white chicken ended up calling Ellie 'best friend'. They had a very special bond, but we suspect anyone who met Ellie ended up feeling the same way.

Thank you Ellie for filling the farm with your light and special kind of hospitality. We know whatever you engage in next will be made better because you are a part of it. So happy to have you a part of the Everwood family!

🎹 Everwood is looking for a trusted, professional piano mover in the area, and we would love your recommendations.

It’s that time of year when we need to move our piano from the barn to the retreat house. If you have hired a local mover who did a fantastic job with a piano, please let us know.

Please drop their name in the comments or send us a direct message. Thank you for your help!
