OPEN RESIDENCY

Designed as an affordable and accessible chance to leave one's context and carve out a slice of time for creative practice across fields and disciplines.  With shared and individual space for productivity, reflection and work, creatives were invited to work on their work - solo or with collaborators.  Short residencies held for up to one week at a time designed for those unable to leave their lives for long periods of time, especially giving time and space to rediscover creative practices which have fallen by the wayside. 

FRAME WORKS

Loosely held Frame Works invited creatives across fields to incubate their work under a wide and prescient theme– such as impact, surface, black & white and democracy. Designed to support and bring a group lens to the individual's creative practice and work and to enhance the work of the individual through relating to others.  Holes in the Wall Collective book-ended the residency with group dinner and conversation, culminating in an optional sharing and reflection of the work and inquiry of the week.

GROUP/ TROUPES/ORGANIZATIONS

Holes in the Wall Collective offered full cabin rentals to groups, troupes and organizations.  Hosting theater groups, dance groups, mine troupes and artistic collaborations– each group had unfettered access to the cabin, use of the barn for studio and meeting space.  We hosted four groups as well as four artistic collaborations in New Jerusalem, PA.

RETREATS & WORKSHOPS

Holes in the Wall Collective partnered and collaborated with author Garrard Conley, director of New Feet Productions Jessica Baumann, writer Joshua Michael Demaree and yoga teacher Elyce Semenec in the 2016/17 summer seasons.  Each workshop offered participants their own room, collective workspace and teachings.  Meals were prepared by Holes in the Wall Collective with much of the produce harvested from the the HWC Tiny Farm/Big Garden. On the first of the year, 2017, HWC also offered our own incubation practice, the Drawing Room as a workshop, inviting residents to participate in a two day brainstorm/incubation/strategy session on their own work and creative practice.
