The week is structured to balance individual creative work and exploration into fields of fire and fire ecology. Experts in historical fire regimes, indigenous practices and other pertinent fields will provide educational opportunities.  Artists will participate in a combination of small group interactive indoor and outdoor classroom experiences, paired with immersive field trips exploring classroom concepts.

This residency is open to artists who reside in Minnesota and are over the age of 18.
