Guest post by Dr. Yanina Gomez

We bet that you are expecting to read about how to climb the steepest peak on earth Mount Thor in Nunavut, Canada. Or perhaps the tallest waterfall in the world located at Angel Falls, Venezuela. Or maybe you thought we were going to tell you about the most treacherous waters on Earth found on Gansbaai, South Africa where you can dive around humongous sharp-teeth white sharks.

Well, actually, we want to tell you about Artists Residencies since we’ve been asked a few times about this topic. And we think they can be a priceless adventurous learning experience! So, we’ve compiled a list of Artist Residencies for the adventurous mind longing to do something wild and epic without sharp-teeth sharks swimming around you!

By no means we are endorsing any of these residencies. This is for informational purposes only. As the diligent and intellectual artist you are, take time to do your research before you make a decision.
