Slow Work is free for every artist who is selected. That means someone else has to hold it.
We are holding eleven artists on eight acres of working farmland for seven days this summer. Two meals a day. Five days of facilitated workshops. A fire circle every night. We need help covering what the grant doesn't.

WHY WE’RE ASKNG
We are not a large institution. We are eight acres, a founding vision, and a growing network of people who believe artists deserve time on land without being asked to produce anything with it. When you give, you are part of holding that.
Activation Residency is fiscally sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GO DEEPER
If you want to build an ongoing relationship with what we're building here, we hold that too. Major gifts ($500 and above) go directly to the residency program. We'll be in touch personally to talk about what that can look like — a land walk, an opening night, a conversation with the founder. Email us at info@activationresidency.com.
