Residency

The Sonovor Artist Development Residency
Where artists are forged.

A one-week intensive artist development residency hosted at The Table — a legacy house, private studio, and full-spectrum creative sanctuary.


THE INVITE

You don’t need more studio time.
You need to be seen.
Not as content. Not as product.
As a voice with gravity — and a path that works.

The Sonovor Residency is not a course. It’s not a camp.
It’s a high-trust, high-outcome creative intensive built to clarify, activate, and launch serious artists.

You come for one week.
You stay at The Table — a house full of family, fire, and silence.
You leave with a system.


THE OUTCOME

What You Leave With

  • A complete artist identity: voice, story, audience, edge
  • A mapped monetisation model that matches your art
  • A strategic release plan (content, calendar, context)
  • A single or EP project outline (writing-to-release flow)
  • Personal mentorship, creative support, full hospitality
  • Optional: Recording and production with Skullcreek Studio

This is not conceptual. It’s conversion-ready.
You don’t just create here — you complete.


THE EXPERIENCE

This Is The Table

  • Private or shared rooms, full access to studio
  • Private cabin for solo artists
  • Meals by Don and Carolyn — family-fed, not catered
  • Grandkids in and out. Nana’s baking in the oven.
  • Firepit conversations, 4am coffee, and a studio that listens
  • Total silence — or total support. You choose.

WHO IT’S FOR

This is for:

  • Artists who know they’re good — but are stuck in cycles
  • Musicians who have been almost famous for too long
  • Creators with a story to tell, but no system to tell it
  • Labels, managers, or partners who want outcomes — not waitlists
  • Indigenous leaders, educators, and backers building creative pipelines
