“Spending two weeks at the 360 Residency was a rejuvenating experience for me as a writer—the beauty of the mountains and lake, the gorgeous facilities at the residency, and the vivid colors everywhere! This was an ideal place to begin a new project, and I felt supported during my time here. This is a place that balances stimulation and calm in a way that is ideal for an artist. ”
