Application Information
Artists over 18 years of age living in Minnesota, who are also parents of children living at home are invited to apply.
In order to accommodate varying family circumstances and needs, we have 3 opportunities for parent-artists to be in residence for the week:
* a single parent-artist brings 1 child (age 6-15) with them for the residency
* a parent-artist brings their spouse/partner and 1-2 children (ages 6-15) with them for the residency
* a couple where both parents are artists apply to be in residence with 1-2 children (ages 6-15)
Lodging is provided; food is purchased and prepared by the artist-family; no additional fees are charged to the artist-family
Programming activities are made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund; and through a grant from the Sustainable Arts Foundation.
