About: Stone Haven International Residency is an interdisciplinary, curator-led initiative that reimagines the relationship between creativity, ecology, and community. Situated in Jamaica’s countryside— on the Caribbean sea. The residency treats the land and the ocean as an active participant in artistic and philosophical inquiry. It centers on the genius loci (spirit of place), acknowledging that the land and ocean hold layered histories and futures shaped by human and non-human interactions. The Stonehaven artist residency is a four to six week residency and cross-cultural collaboration between two-three artists of Caribbean descent. Artists will also participate in a community-engaged project with local cultural organization and/or school in Portland Parish. With funds raised, we are eager to welcome our first two artists in October of 2026. We thank you for your donation and ongoing support!!

Launching in October 2026. Two artists will be hosted in our inagural year.
