The residency season is July 1 - Sept 30, 2019
This program intends to facilitate an engaging tradition of unique and varied creative projects arising from a dialog between Loring Park and the individual vision of Twin Cities artists. We believe that this residency is a unique opportunity to support local Twin Cities artists as well as establishing a vital link between public parks and the arts.
