An Ocean of Our Own
A weeklong, interdisciplinary micro-residency by the sea
Falmouth, Massachusetts
September 26th–October 3rd, 2026
As an artist-run program in its second year, An Ocean Of Our Own brings together no more than five artists to immerse themselves in Cape Cod's shoreside ecosystems.
This program is a deeply personal creative project as much as it is a carefully curated experience, inviting artists to create and develop their work in dialogue with the shore, the marsh, the water, and local communities.
We will gather by the ocean I grew up with, staying a ten minute bike ride from a quiet, locals-only beach.
☆ Work-in-progress presentation and feedback session with local artists at the Falmouth Arts Center
☆ Guided visit to a working Cranberry Bog
☆ Day trip to Provincetown with stops at the National Seashore, Blackwater Pond, the Dune Shacks trails
☆ Evening film screenings and fire pit gatherings
☆ Bike rides through the Great Sippewissett Marsh
☆ Guided writing, movement, and meditation offerings including
The Poets of Provincetown and Waltzing with the Waves.
You’ll have time to do absolutely nothing, too.
Programming includes:
"[Throughout this residency], I’ve learned to trust and be guided by spirituality in my artistic practice and journey.
I was just getting into this before the residency, and Katya’s teachings and connecting with the land helped me build this belief in something greater guiding me.
This, and hearing other artists talk about their practice, helped me gain confidence talking about myself as an artist and what I create."
-Kyla Kralapp, poet and screenwriter
