Programs at A House Unbuilt

Where artists and communities meet through creative exploration, dialogue, and place-based inquiry.

A House Unbuilt hosts a growing set of programs that support artists, deepen community engagement, and expand access to creative practice in the St. Croix River Valley. Our programs emphasize whole-body listening, interdisciplinary experimentation, and public participation—bringing art into conversation with environment, water, and daily life.

Art & Water Micro Residency

A short-term residency offering artists time, space, a stipend, and administrative support to explore new ideas or develop site-responsive work. Residents host a public engagement—an open studio, workshop, conversation, or performance—that invites the community into their creative process.
