Oak Spring Garden Foundation Announces 2023 Interdisciplinary Residents

Oak Spring Garden Foundation is delighted to announce our 2023 Interdisciplinary Residency cohorts. The Interdisciplinary Residency program is our flagship residency program and began in 2021.

Residents work in varying disciplines including plant science research, ecology, visual arts, creative writing, literature, humanities, and more. Each cohort spends five weeks or two weeks living and working on site where they can utilize OSGF’s resources, including our library, landscape, and biocultural conservation farm.

Residents are not required to produce a set number of work, and we hope they will spend their days finding inspiration while working in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment.

Applications for the 2024 Interdisciplinary Program opens February 14th, 2023.

View the slideshows below to learn about our two-week and five-week cohorts and the Residents.
