Dorland Mountain Arts Residency offers a remote and scenic retreat near Temecula Valley Wine Country in California, approximately 100 miles south of Los Angeles. The residency is open to visual artists, writers and other scribes, as well as composers and performing musicians, and stays can range from one week to six weeks depending on request and availability.

Artists stay in individual cabins with WiFi, air conditioning, kitchen, bathroom, workspace and a veranda with views of mountains and valleys. Common areas include a library, meeting room, studio for visual arts, as well as Jane Culp Studio with work tables, a small printing press for linocut and monotype, and equipment for cyanotype printing. The property also has a pond, a small lake with rowboat and hiking trails.

Application is made through the residency's own website. Applicants are reviewed on a rolling basis according to receipt date, and upon approval a contract and deposit requirement are sent to secure the stay dates. There are no fellowships or cost coverage – the artist pays their own weekly accommodation fee, with a discount for stays of four weeks or more.
