HISTORY
Loghaven’s historic cabins and ninety acres of surrounding woodlands have been thoughtfully preserved and renovated as an artist residency. The original log cabins on the property were built during the Depression and are used as artists’ living spaces during their time in residence. Many of the cabins are ample in size, allowing for both live and work spaces and making them ideal for hosting collaborative artist groups. In addition to the Depression-era cabins, there are three newly constructed buildings on the campus, the communal McDonough House, Performing Arts Studio, and Visual Arts Studio.
For over eighty years, this cabin community has been home to creatives, intellectuals, and entrepreneurs seeking inspiration in a beautiful setting. Loghaven Artist Residency continues and expands upon the tradition of creativity on this wooded ridge-top just ten minutes from downtown Knoxville.

Loghaven’s annual open call for applications takes place on June 1 through July 15, for residencies occurring the following year.
