The Residency  
Mother’s Milk is a 2, 4, or 6 week interdisciplinary residency, designed to support visual artists, composers/ sound artists, creative writers, dancers/choreographers and other creatives who are pursuing innovative work in their field. The goal of this program is to provide individuals or collaborators with the time and space to pursue their creative projects alongside three or four other residents whose different perspectives, backgrounds and interests offer inspiration and interaction. Work that is more experimental in nature without regard to commercial viability is of special interest. Mother’s Milk Residency is located in a renovated dairy farm at the edge of Newton, Kansas, tucked between farm fields, a light industrial park, and a travel hub.
