🪄Creative Residency & Volunteering

Work With Us at Rustic

Build art in the mountains. Perform by the fire. Shoot, write, design, brew, and host. If you love creating and community, this is your stage.

Creator Sprint (7–10 days)

Short, focused residency to produce a tight set of deliverables — photo series, a micro-film, a music session, a zine, or a design drop.

Artist Residency (3–4 weeks)

Deep-dive mountain making. Host one community event (open mic, photo walk, workshop) and craft a portfolio-worthy project.

Hands-on experience across content, community, cafe ops, and events. Mentorship + certificate + featured credits.
