ABOUT US ARTIST RESIDENC Y
AN ESCAPE FOR CREATIVITY
artist residency
At Heaven Can Wait, we believe that art thrives where the boundaries of time and space fade, where inspiration is drawn not just from the canvas but from the earth itself. Our Artist in Residency program is a space for visionaries to create, connect, and explore, grounded in nature and surrounded by the quiet hum of creativity. Last year, we welcomed a remarkable group of artists whose works have left a lasting imprint on our space and our hearts.
