CAMPBIENT: The 44 Hour Sound Art Residency

CAMPBIENT is an annual sound art residency that brings together creative-minded individuals for 44 hours to conceptualize, produce, and record 44 minutes of sound art compositions in a state park. The 7th annual edition of CAMPBIENT will be June 4 – 7, 2026 at Kanaskat-Palmer State Park, Ravensdale, WA. The residency includes sound-related workshops, creative activities, and a start-to-finish audio production process— the results of which are pressed on vinyl records and distributed digitally. Participating artists camp out, share meals, and collaborate in field recording, sound-making, and creative play. Open to all, and artists/creative thinkers from any discipline are encouraged to apply regardless of experience with music, audio production, or sound art.

Wiro Mag: Ecology

Interested in having your art published, printed, and posted directly to your door? Exhibit alongside a diverse network of established and emerging artists in a collection underpinned by the theme of Ecology. All art in any medium related to this theme is welcome to feature in the fifth installation of this series!

Wiro Mag is a paperbound gallery space designed to capture art practice in motion, seeking to connect emerging and established artists with broader audiences, gain reputable and tangible exposure, and drive intimate conversations with creative individuals or collectives.

Wiro Mag: Ecology is a celebration of how art can be used as a tool to incorporate, celebrate, and symbolise elements of nature and ecology.

Solitary Retreat in the Nevada Desert

Montello Foundation is a foundation dedicated to support artists who foster our understanding of nature, its fragility and our need to protect it.

The Montello Foundation provides a solitary retreat where artists can experience the vastness of a desert landscape from a safe building, a unique space for inspiration and creation, a place that provides a shield from distractions in the solitude of the desert.

The building contains a "cabin" part with running water and electricity and a 20 x 20 ft studio with large windows facing North.
