UP TO DATE
winslow house is in the midst of her ongoing restoration.
so much has already been accomplished - the windows & the flooring in the main house, the kitchen sink, the hen house & the roof on the barn, the shingles on the south side of the barn, some electrical, some water & many other works.
all that said/done, there is still so much to do! & there probably always will be - this truth an essential part of the project.
at the top of the list - cleaning out and repairing the cistern, painting the exterior of the main house, installing solar, working on the landscaping, finishing the barn & building out the gallery and workspaces.
we are hosting four artist residencies in 2023 - january 10-31, april 4-25, july 4-25 and october 10-31. at the end of each residency period there will be an open house on the last sunday showcasing the work of the 3-4 residents. the public and community will be invited to make a reservation to attend these gatherings as space is limited. announcements will be made on instagram and via the mailing list.
also, if you are inspired, reach out and propose your idea - we are looking for local artists to interact with the project by using the house for poetry readings, lectures, artist workshops, art installations, dance performances, music, outdoor film screenings - what is drawn here considers local and global ecological and social issues. site specific installations considering vallejo are strongly encouraged.
any amount of elbow grease anyone has to lend is an important part of our energetic funding.

...with plans for a gallery and workspaces to be built where the shack sits. the barn will eventually serve as the guest rental which will help fund the program while allowing others to enjoy all winslow has to offer.
