Join two 25-minute interactive Q+A breakouts to connect with practitioners sharing their successes, get your questions answered, and discover practical tools and inspiration to bring back to your organization.

Artist residency staff and leaders regularly navigate mental health and psychological concerns among artists, staff, or within the broader residency environment. Responding effectively requires understanding our own responses to stress, recognizing when someone may need additional support, and knowing the limits of our role.
