Barters

One of the studios that was renovated with the help of barters, especially the photographer Kara Quinn from Oregon.

We welcome writers and artists to apply to come to La Muse as barters on work exchange stays.

Writers and artists receive a complimentary room in exchange for approximately 24 hours of work per week. Work can be done in four-hour daily sessions or in three full days a week, depending on the nature of the work.

The kind of work depends on the season and the number of other residents at the house, but would include anything from building stone walls and gardening to home improvement, grant research for the owners, or organizational assistance.
