Edenfred (Eden peace in Norwegian) is a place providing creative artists uninterrupted time to work in a peaceful setting. It is a gracious 1916 Georgian-style mansion in the Highlands neighborhood of Madison, Wisconsin, on 2.5 acres. The property has beautiful gardens, a lovely pond, a small woods and swimming pool (summer only). The Resident Fellows Program is designed as a retreat experience to pursue personal creative opportunities while sharing collegial interaction with a small group of artists.
Edenfred is dedicated to the development of the arts and culture and is especially interested in encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue. To ensure our programming efforts mutually benefit artists and the community, resident fellows are required to have some direct interaction with the Madison community during their stay. The nature of the activity derives from the artist’s interests and is planned in consultation with the Executive Director prior to a residence. The house is particularly well-suited to collaborative team residencies. Creative artists in all disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Our programs include: Resident Fellows Program (open application); Day Fellows Program (local/regional) and Cooperative Residency Program (partnerships with local and regional arts groups).
Established in 2004, Edenfred is a part of the Terry Family Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization.
