## About This Program

> "The intersections of food, farming, and the arts"

Resident Internship positions are available to early-career individuals who have a strong interest in the ceramic arts, the culinary arts, and/or farming. Craigardan seeks individuals who are actively engaged and productive people who are curious and wish to discover more about the intersections of food, farming, and the arts. Resident Interns (RIs) are integral members of Craigardan's community serving as both artists/farmers-in-residence and interns on staff.

Resident Internships are educational work exchange positions. Each participant receives a full fellowship ($2300 weekly value) towards a free residency, mentorship, hands-on learning, housing, a farm share, free access to all programs, and studio access in exchange for 30 hours per week of work on the community farm, and/or in the studio. This time will include rotating chore responsibilities on the Community Farm and in the Farmhouse.

RIs are expected to spend an additional 10 hours per week on their own individual projects and attend all lectures and special programs. The internship program is a rigorous, 40 hour-per-week commitment. RIs have the unique opportunity to spend three months or more at Craigardan, meeting dozens of amazing artists and scholars from around the world, working in all disciplines.

As with all residents, RIs are responsible for purchasing any additional groceries needed beyond the farm share and pantry, and preparing their own meals in the family-style kitchen. All RIs are responsible for any additional personal expenses and a car is required. Three RI focus areas are available: Farm + Food Resident Internship; Studio Resident Internship; a combination Art + Farm Resident Internship. Each internship is a minimum 3-month position.
