Promised Land as Proving Ground Artist in Residence

Conner Prairie's artist-in-residence program brings working creators into the museum space, letting families watch and interact with art-making in action. This particular residency focuses on exploring themes of promise, potential, and testing ideas—fitting for a living-history museum. Visitors can expect to see an artist at work in their studio space, often with opportunities to ask questions, observe their process, and sometimes participate in hands-on activities. It's a chance for kids to see that art isn't just finished pieces in galleries, but an ongoing, thoughtful practice.
