Artist Residency
Rosewater Ranch is now offering 1-3 month artist residency stays. ​The objective of the residency program is to create collaborations between artist, nature, ranch and sustainable living.​
The residency gives international and local artists a place and opportunity to explore their art in a new environment namely, a place where they can be immersed in nature and yet have access to the vibrant art community of the Reno/Tahoe area.
