MADE Creatives in Residence
MADE brings together a select group of Creatives from different, but related fields, with different expertise, under the same roof where each can engage and share with one another distinct perspectives, skills, and reflections.
At MADE Creatives in Residence, individuals find the foundation from which to explore all that SMA has to offer as well as the private and shared spaces to reflect on experiences and ultimately create the seed that uniquely expresses their time while they are here or wherever they go next.
At MADE we support community building, advance ideas and programs, and believe that exposure and engagement to new ideas and diverse people are keys for personal and professional growth. We are convinced in the power of social thinking and doing. In this spirit, we invite creatives to be part of the community of Creatives in Residence at MADE in SMA.
