Djerassi Artists Residency
The Djerassi Resident Artists Program is an artists and writers residency in Woodside, California.[1] The residency sits on a 583-acre ranch with a 12-sided cattle barn converted into artist studios.[2]
History[]
The program was co-founded in 1979 by Carl Djerassi, the inventor of the birth control pill, and Diane Middlebrook. The residency is competitive and held at no cost to the artists. The location was a former cattle ranch. Originally an all-women's residency program in honor of Djerassi's late daughter Pamela,[2][3] the program later expanded to welcome all genders.
This residency offers an annual public open house event.[4]
