WOODWORKS ARTIST RESIDENCY

Our Vision

We envision a world where people of all brains, bodies, backgrounds and beliefs can create and flourish in community, rooted in craft and led by compassionate curiosity.  In this future, artists are supported with the skills, resources, and collaborative networks they need not only to survive, but to truly thrive. In this future, creativity is woven into the life of the community as an essential force for connection and culture.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

We believe that all art begins with the full spectrum of human experience. We commit to creating spaces that honor and include all brains, bodies, and beliefs; recognizing the richness that comes from varied ways of moving, thinking, and connecting.

We celebrate and uplift artists and communities across lines of neurodivergence, race, ethnicity, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and expression. Our work is rooted in equity and accessibility, ensuring that the resources, opportunities, and platforms we provide are available to those historically excluded from the arts.

Through compassionate curiosity, we strive to dismantle barriers, cultivate belonging, and invite everyone into a shared process of discovery.
