The Culture Palette is a friendly and relaxed intentional community for traveling musicians and artists.  Seeking the time, space and gorgeous, quiet setting to pursue your passions? Need a place to hang your hat temporarily while on the road between gigs? Whether you’re looking for a music retreat, a screenwriting haven or some time to draw and paint, the tranquil lake environment of Hopatcong, New Jersey will give you peace and focus and get your mojo working.  Join us in our network of several homes containing private, fully furnished living spaces, around a central house, ''Hippie Haven.'' The surrounding woods are teeming with wildlife, including hummingbirds, deer, squirrels, butterflies, chipmunks, raccoons, foxes and the occasional black bear!  Hosted by Mercedes and Andrew, the artist community is designed as a place to breathe, unwind, and immerse yourself in creative work — and guests choose as much or as little interaction with the hosts and fellow resident artists as they like. Two music rehearsal facilities are equipped with drums, keyboards, guitars and PA equipment.  Delicious home-cooked food is on offer every day, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free options and more. Communal meals, group activities, and music jam sessions are a regular occurrence if you'd like to meet and collaborate with fellow artists, talk about your work, and learn from others.  Stay a couple of days, a week, or more!
