Interlude alone can't come close to meeting the needs of the Parent-Artist community. We aim to collaborate, aid, and partner with as many other organizations as possible, joining together for stronger networks of support.
We provide advising and guidelines for organizations looking to include parent artists. Please get in touch with us at interluderesidency@gmail.com!
Building Inclusive Arts Residencies:
A Toolkit for Supporting Parent Artists
A Guide by Elsie Kagan
“The amount of work that opened up as soon as I set up the studio was beyond my comprehension...it’s the cosmic stuff that lights a fire and prompts several years of work to follow. Beyond the intense and generative time I was able to spend with my work–the sort of compressed time which is incredibly rare in my life these days–I was able to connect with my son in wonderfully surprising and creative ways.”
