Want to Build Your
Own Art Residency?
I built Milos Art Residency from scratch — the property search, the renovation, the application system, a sustainable pricing model, and launch. In the first year, 1,000 women started applications and the residency reached operational profitability, including scholarships.
On Nov 11, 2PM EST, I'm teaching how I did it — and how you can too, anywhere in the world. Sign up for this 60 minute live webinar: $47.
Nov 11th, 2026. 2PM EST. $47.
Replay included for a limited time.
The VisionWomen are being called to architect a new world — this requires an ecological approach. I’m teaching women how to build their own residencies, tap into female artist community, and join a global network of female-led residencies. Residencies are the nodes. Community is the web.
Who This is For:
You have a space for a
Residency or Retreat Center
You already own a property and want to turn it into a residency or retreat space.
You have a Vision,
but no space
You're actively searching for a property and want to host creative community.
You’re in the
Dreaming stage
You don’t have a space yet and want to understand the residency model before committing.

What You’ll Walk
Away With
By the end of this workshop, you will have:
Clarity on what type of residency model fits your space and life.
An understanding of the Residency landscape and pricing.
The key mistakes to avoid before you spend a cent.
A clear next step for your specific situation.
In other words: you won’t just have an idea, you’ll have a real starting point.
