Sometimes a painter’s studio, other times a writer’s room, most recently a printing studio, the Eugene Shack is a comfy place to get cozy and creative.

This studio is named after Sable 2015 Artist Eugene McKeown, who painted the whimsical mural on the back wall after designing and building the shack in Sable’s 2nd season.

This structure currently has a couch and desk. It also holds some extra sheets, blankets, clothes, potential costumes, and camping supplies that Artists in Residence may use during their time at Sable.

Access: The Eugene Shack is next to the Kern Shack, with the door up a slight hill. It requires one large step to get in.

Built in 2015 by Eugene McKeown, with Otto. Mural by Eugene, 2015. Renovated with fire-treated half walls in 2022 by Otto, Jake, Emma, Jessica, Audrey, and Sofie Rose.
