Chicken Coop AIR Summer 2026 Applications open at the end of February

The Chicken Coop Artist-in-Residency (AIR) offers time and space for visual artists to focus on their creative process in a rural setting. Residents stay at Villekulla Farm, a beautiful Nebraska acreage in Stanton County. 

The residency has a regenerative approach, focused on artists of different ages, career stages, abilities, and identities.

The goal is to foster a creative experience where visiting artists regenerate a colorful and inclusive environment in rural Nebraska.
