BLACKLOCK NATURE SANCTUARY
RESIDENCES AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL
The Blacklock Nature Sanctuary Artist Residences in Moose Lake, Minnesota and on Lake Superior at the Nadine Blacklock Lakeshore are open for rental to non-Fellowship artists, naturalists and friends. The two-bedroom Nature Sanctuary home is fully furnished with modern kitchen, bathroom, natural wood interiors, fireplace and comfortably accommodates one to four people (in one queen and one double bed). For more information on the Blacklock Sanctuary Cabin at the Nadine Blacklock Lakeshore, contact Cove Point Lodge at: 1-800-598-3221.

Newly renovated studio space is also available on the BNS Moose Lake property: a painting/writing studio with a spectacular view, and a pole barn with a 30-ft. cement slab floor to accommodate large scale work, both with water and electricity.

The BNS Residence is situated on over 550 acres of land, overlooking a beaver pond and heron rookery, with groomed hiking and cross-country ski trails through pine and deciduous forests. The Munger paved bike trail is nearby. The autumn foliage is spectacular in October, the winter snows are deep and quiet, the spring wildflower season should not be missed, and summer brings warm days and cool nights.

The Jerome Foundation has funded Artist Residency Fellowships for individuals, mentors and protegees, and arts administrators from 1998 to 2003. The artists-recipients will be in residence during the months of May through October.

The Residence is also available on a rental basis for weekend, week and month-long use when not being used by the Artist Fellows.
