F.A.Q.s

What is the space like? Is it shared?

The space is separate from our family space, and is one bedroom with a queen bed, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchenette. So it is really best for 1-2 people at a time. There is also a couch that can be used as a twin bed.

When is the guest house available?

You can check the calendar here, though even if it does not show as occupied, it may not be available.

How do I book?

Is there free Internet?

yes.

Is there air conditioning?

Hell yes. It’s New Orleans and the studio has a brand new ac and heating system.

What is the Artist & Activist Residency?

The Jumpslide Artist & Activist Residency is an invite only residency program that supports collaboration/research/rest for artists and activists. Here's what other residents have done with their time.

Why did you start the residency? 

The residency builds on the decade of work that we did with Revolutions Per Minute  in New Orleans after the floods. It also comes from the personal experience that artists and activists sometimes need space for rest and inspiration free of deliverables, expectations, or other strings.
