Experience art, nature, and extraordinary architecture during a private weekend retreat at Djerassi. Tucked in the coastal hills above Woodside, the Djerassi Resident Artists Program welcomes you and up to seven guests to spend two nights in the acclaimed Diane Middlebrook Studios—a striking and eco-friendly architectural landmark designed by renowned architect and Djerassi Trustee Cass Calder Smith. Each of the four artist studios boasts expansive views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, with thoughtfully positioned angles that offer both privacy and a strong connection to the land.

 

This rare chance to disconnect, connect with nature, and immerse yourself in the creative spirit that defines Djerassi will be an experience your group will cherish forever.

​

YOUR STAY INCLUDES:

- Two (2) nights in four individual Middlebrook Studios for up to eight (8) guests.

- A chef-prepared dinner using seasonal, local ingredients for your group.

- A guided sculpture hike led by the Executive Director, sharing stories behind the numerous site-specific installations created by Djerassi alumni artists across the landscape.

​

Stay to be scheduled in the first half of 2026.
