The goal of the Warwick Furnace Farm Artist Residency Program is to create an inspirational space that supports artists at different stages of their careers fostering unique bodies of work at the intersection of art, agriculture, conservation and history in response to this site. We hope to create a program with flexibility to suit each individual artist’s practice and provide meaningful unexpected interactive creative experiences for our community.
