interdisciplinary artist residency

After the resounding success of Craft 101 in 2024, Arts Letters & Numbers is excited to bring the program back, bigger, more immersive, and more interdisciplinary than ever.

Between July 1 and August 30, our Averill Park campus will host over twenty unique programs designed to blend technical skill-building with conceptual exploration. Through hands-on mentorship, material experimentation, and collaborative inquiry, participants will have the freedom to move across disciplines, forging deep connections between ideas, people, and practices.

Every year KIRA awards 6 artists with a one month residency. Artists are provided with individual studio space, comfortable housing, two prepared meals each day, a stipend and live on a historic property in a beautiful seaside town. Artists should bring all supplies and materials needed for their creative process, to ensure availability of required supplies and provisions. As part of the residency, artists will be asked to engage with the community for up to six hours a week. These engagements will vary based on skills and interest and can include a partnership with Kingsbrae Garden which is located just steps away from the residence and studios.
