Associated Residency Program
Artists, writers, performers, musicians, and creative professionals of all disciplines are encouraged to customize their time and conduct self-directed residencies. Projects might be the creative work of an individual or encompass the collaborative work of a group. Centrum encourages residents to connect to community partners and organizations as projects may dictate.
Self-Directed Residencies occur throughout one to four week sessions between mid-August and mid-June.
