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 creative process unfold in real time. Depending on the specific artist and medium involved, visitors might observe painting, sculpture, crafting, or other hands-on art-making—and often get to interact, ask questions, or even try techniques themselves. It's a casual, educational way to see that art isn't just something behind glass; it's something people actively make, experiment with, and refine. Perfect for curious kids who wonder how things get created.
