Eligibility

Cascina Lago Scuro is a functioning farm that will still be in operation while the residency takes place. This is also our first cohort so we are looking to host self-sufficient residents who are open to giving feedback on the experience as it develops, and who are excited about the idea of being a part of something that's just beginning to grow. When we say creative people, this applies to all backgrounds and disciplines. Seriously, we’re looking for open-minded and respectful people who want to create and explore things in dialogue with the farm. Whether you’re a dancer, fine artist, muralist, musician, sculptor, writer - Or, perhaps you’re a chef, designer, architect, or engineer - you tell us! We’re looking forward to bringing new and good energies to the farm that can expand its potential.
