If developed, Casa Petra Vera will offer accommodations, as well as residencies centered on notable work in arts, STEM/STEAM, or other relevant fields.
Vacation
Accommodations for vacation travelers would be offered at seasonal rates.
Workforce Credit
Medicaid cardholders (employed at up to 60% of HUD median income for their household size) would be offered a 20% reduction of seasonal rates.
Research
Visitors actively working on regional research in STEM/STEAM fields would be offered a 40% reduction of seasonal rates. Special consideration including potential sponsorships, would be given to researchers hailing from disenfranchised communities.
Internship
Internships paying living wages, combined with lodging at a 70% reduction of seasonal rates; would be offered by invitation, or considered by application, to youth seeking education in arts, STEM/STEAM, law/administration for conservation, indigenous issues, or other relevant fields. Special consideration including potential sponsorships, would be given to youth hailing from disenfranchised communities.
Residency
Residency invitations would be curated, free of any cost for accommodations, based on notable work in arts, STEM/STEAM, or other relevant fields. We would not have an avenue for residency solicitations, but guests would always be welcome to share with us their suggestions for potential candidates.
We feel that as discourse feeds good work, so does periodic solitude and respite from the sometimes uncivilized torrent of civilization. We would not require residency recipients to produce or present work onsite, or be social with us or other guests. Our residencies would be intended to honor and foster notable work by simply providing a period of respite at this refuge.
