About Sprouts Society Residency:
The residency program invites artists, inventors and farmers from around the world to participate creatively within Catskill region’s working landscape. ASsociety residency program supports the inception, creation and presentation of original art projects encompassing new media and bio-art. The ASS residency facilitates this cross disciplinary collaboration with a mobile residency program that travels to host farms in the Catskills.
