SEPTEMBER 5TH - 7TH, 2025 | MT HOOD, OREGON

Alpine Artists Application

I am so excited to host this retreat in September! Please fill out the application below to get started. You can read more detailed info about the Alpine Artists retreat here. Have questions about the retreat? Feel free to email me at: jaclynbaerart@gmail.com

Important Info

There are limited spots available and artists will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. If you’re accepted, you’ll receive a welcome email with a link to sign the retreat contract and pay your retainer to secure your spot. You’ll have one week to sign & book your spot before it passes on to the next person. The remaining balance is due on or before August 5th, 2025.

Why an application?

This helps ensure you understand the specifics of the retreat before paying the retainer. I wouldn’t want someone to book their spot and not fully realize the requirements or what’s included. I want to emphasize that this is an inclusive retreat for women of all ages (18+) and that I am not selecting participants based on how adventurous or experienced you are as an artist. I welcome any women 18 and older to apply. Also, logistically, I am currently debating between two Airbnbs—and your responses to this application will help me select the cabin that best accommodates our group size.

Retreat Requirements:

  • This is a women-only retreat for those 18 and older.

  • You should have an artistic background and an interest in exploring the outdoors.

  • You should be physically capable of hiking each day of the retreat between 3-5 miles including some uphill sections (although trails will be fairly easygoing and we will take breaks as needed). You do not need to be a super experienced hiker—just physically up for a long walk :)

  • This is an alcohol and drug-free retreat.

  • You will be sharing a bathroom with 2-3 other women. And for those who accept a shared room, you will share a room with others.

  • You should have a positive attitude and be flexible in a group setting (aka help cheer and support on other artists on the retreat).

  • You’ll be responsible for your airfare and car-rental. Although you will receive detailed instructions on how to get to the Airbnb, trailheads, or anywhere else we visit during the retreat.
