Associated Residency Program
Organization
The Artist Family Residency supports Artist Parents and Artist Youth alike with a one-week residency at Franconia during July. We support connection and creative expression for creative families.
Coinciding with our Youth Installation Summer Camps, Artist Youth are invited to enroll in camp during the day while the Artist Parent can be on-site for research or production. For Artist Parents, this is a self-directed residency. The Artist Family benefits both from the individual creative process and also through togetherness. A culminating Parents & Community sharing of Summer Camp Works provides a joined capstone experience for the Artist Family.
