The Ranchlands Artist Residency invites artists of all disciplines — from painters and ceramicists to writers and poets — to live and create on a working cattle ranch in rural Wyoming. Artists immerse themselves in ranch life, using their work to explore themes of land stewardship, heritage, and ecosystem preservation.

Location & Housing

Paintrock Canyon Ranch, located in Hyattville, Wyoming. Artists stay in a furnished wall tent and work from a converted studio on the ranch.

Duration

Residencies run 1–2 months, with dates varying by season.

Eligibility

Open to emerging and established artists of any discipline. International applicants are welcome, though travel and visa arrangements are the responsibility of the artist. You must have a personal vehicle for the duration of your stay due to the ranch’s remote location.

Capacity

1–2 artists per session.
