Our Program: Greenhaven Artist Residencies

Greenhaven at The Green Room
At The Green Room, we occasionally offer Greenhaven, a residency program for artists navigating transition, displacement, or the need for focused renewal. Rooted in care and community, these residencies provide a temporary home for reflection, creation, and connection. Open calls are posted periodically on our website and social media.
