Gardens
Each month, from March to November, we have set aside five days (Sunday afternoon through to Friday morning) to dedicate Jacky Winter Gardens to our artist-in-residence program.
We donate the entire private use of the whole property to accommodate a working artist — who can use the time to start, sustain or finish a commercial project. Nine residencies are given out every year to professional artists of all disciplines. Applications are free, and are taken four times per year.

The Program
Jacky Winter is fueled by a constant commitment to the careful balance of art and commerce. The Jacky Winter Gardens artist-in-residence program offers time and space for the creation or development of new commercial work, or continuation of an existing project.
This is an entirely self-directed residency, with the only acquittal requirement being a broad one-page statement upon the completion of the residency — so we can hear about what you worked on, and share it with those who might wish to follow in your footsteps! We also ask you acknowledge Jacky Winter Gardens as a part of any completed projects worked on during your time here.
Residents are required to pay for their own food and transport during their stay, but there are no other fees associated with the residency.
See below for the full details, regarding dates and conditions. We recommend signing up to the mailing list if you’d like to be notified when application periods begin.
