Sparrow values creativity, community, and collaboration
Creativity: Artists-in-residence explore their creativity by developing new work in the space and inspire creativity in others by showing their creative process.
Collaboration: Residencies are for two or more artists. Sparrow provides a space for something new to emerge when artists work together – either in a collaborative piece or simply by working side by side. Artists can apply as individuals if they are open to Sparrow looking for another artist to collaborate with.
Community: We encourage artists-in-residence to reach out to the community in a way that is unique to them, whether it be artist talks, workshops, demos, or collaborating with other artists.
