Nestled in the hills of upstate New York, in the small village of Philmont, lies an anthroposophic arts and education initiative called Free Columbia. For the month of July, we are offering a four-week residency for young artists. Come join a cohort of artists and musicians, all arriving to self-direct their own projects of inspiration within a framework of mutual interest, study, and community.

Residents host a weekly gathering that includes a potluck meal followed by an artistic sharing. Weekly peer accountability, mentorship, and biography work offer residents an opportunity to reflect and to develop both their practice and themselves. Working artistically on individual projects, as well as collaboratively on community projects such as gardening and land work, we cultivate an artistic practice and a community that strives to be in relationship with the spiritual aspects of the human being and the world.
