We rely on diversity to strengthen the program as it develops and strongly encourage LGBTQ, POC and Indigenous artists to join us on the farm.

Program Description

The director will support each artist to develop public programs and individual projects that will enhance their unique body of work and help them reach personal goals. Residents will participate in group critiques, studio visits, group excursions, topical discussions, work parties and planning sessions. Collaboration, sustainability and community are core values. The director will be on site and act as host, fellow artist, and facilitator. Desired proposals will make use of the natural resources located on the farm, activate or communicate with the land and its history, speculate futures, explore site specificity, time, culture and self-sustaining systems. Interests also include temporary sculpture, architectural projects, and sound work as well as traditional processes with a low or zero environmental impact.
