Erik’s Ranch Artist Retreat / Residencies
Deadline
January 31, 2026
Organization Name: Erik's Ranch
Organization Location: Livingston, MT
Type: Residencies
Fee: Free
Erik’s Ranch is offering retreats at our beautiful guest ranch in Paradise Valley, MT for artists of all kinds. Stays include private rooms with ensuite baths, meals, private workspaces and special tours offered by our ranch staff during specific weeks in February and March 2026.
Our members (adults with autism who live and work at the ranch) play an active role in bringing these experiences to life — from sharing their personal passions through activities like:
– Horseback experiences on the ranch
– Creative storytelling (including Greek mythology tours!)
– Hands-on ranch demonstrations
– And more based on their interests and skills
To keep this experience affordable for working artists, the cost for the entire retreat is $299. This includes housing, private work space programming, and full access to the ranch during their stay — while directly supporting paid employment for our adults with autism.
