proposal portal open from october 1-7 of 2026 for residency in 2027.
the project resides in a historic farmhouse in vallejo california - landmark no. 23 - a gothic revival built in 1860 by george greenwood & later named after isaac winslow. the house has a history of offering space & time to the arts - the intent is to carry this forward. the winslow house project was born in the summer of 2021 and has been growing steadily ever since.
as we all know, it is becoming harder and harder to find spaces in the bay area that allow for introspection and creative response. here you will find this. the next proposal window for residency in 2027 is oct 1-7, 2026. january, april, july and october are the month long residencies available to 5 artists at a time - serving 20 artists per year. these month long residencies are available to individual proposals only. we also host what we call micro-residencies for those who do not have a month on hand - or are not able to make one of the four months offered. this is an opportunity for folks to dream up their own residency - these range from 3 days to 2 weeks & from 1-5 collaborators who are mentioned by name in the proposal. once selected these are tetris-ed in with other projects and are what makes up the rest of the year at whp.
the offer is time and space. each month long residency culminates in an open house for the public. the micro residencies may or may not have a public offering depending on the proposal - all residencies are offered without expectation of a defined fruition. we prioritize process here. which includes sleep. we are open to most mediums and most practices... film, dance, visual art, music, literature, journalism, philosophy, history, agro-ecology, poetry, performance projects, and their points of intersection.
winslow house project is part of both a local and global counter-space. what is drawn here continues to evolve and expand. please see calendar for other occurrences which happen onsite throughout the year - performance projects, band residencies, poetry residencies with readings, dance residencies with performances, film screenings, creative radio club and writing days. you can also schedule a site visit - this is on offer when there is space and time in the whp calendar - so reach out to see what might work.
*** the whp auxiliary space - confloptus - had its inaugural fellowship show november 17 2024. ***
confloptus is now also included in the proposal period - it is available to friends and fellows of the project to occupy as they will. it helps to know what is going on here to write a proposal for this space. so if you do not know, perhaps come to an event at whp or confloptus to get a feel.
