You And Dorland
Thriving Side by Side
As a nonprofit, Dorland Mountain Arts is entrusted with caring for both a cherished artist retreat—where creators of all disciplines find inspiration—and 300 acres of protected wilderness. Your support helps sustain the cottages, preserve the land, and keep Dorland a sanctuary where art and nature thrive side by side.
Dorland: A Legacy of Art and Wilderness
Throughout the years, countless residents have shared their belief that Dorland is a truly magical place—a sanctuary where inspiration flourishes amid the living art and natural beauty.

Your support ensures that Dorland continues to be a refuge where art and nature coexist in harmony—for today’s artists and generations to come.
