We offer a unique residency experience here at The Peanut Factory. Artists and writers can work, create an installation, and lead a workshop in an original peanut processing mill which has been refurbished, leaving a lot of space for expression, while maintaining the building’s integrity.
The Spruill Farm Conservation Project, which is located 25 minutes away in Roper, Washington County, is also owned and managed by The Peanut Factory, Inc. Your residency may include research at the 110 acre farm, with trails and shoreline. Www.spruillfarm.org is being updated in 2024 and Facebook/spruillfarmconservationproject has many photos.
The Artists in Residency program is expanding in 2024. Feel free to introduce yourself with any links of your work – visual arts or other fields – and explain your interests and goals. We will respond as soon as possible with further details about the residency.
