How to Get Involved

The Summer Sessions are intense engagements with contributing artists, residency fellows, and visiting lecturers & performers exchanging on a weekly basis. Weekends are designed around hosting guests and are full of activities. Providing the following protocols, any person may visit or get involved with Mildred’s Lane during the program season (1 May to 31 October) in one of the following ways:


Enroll in a Residency Session

Residency sessions are intensive, 1–3 week research-based and project-based engagements held between May and October. As a session fellow, you will be in residence alongside project collaborators, guest lecturers and performers, and Resident-Artists-in-Complexity during our dynamic program season.

Please inquire if you wish to join us by the day or overnight


Attend an Event

We host numerous events throughout the program season that are free and open to the public — please see our social media, or follow our email newsletter to be informed of upcoming events!

We also host ticketed “Social Saturdays,” unique dinner events which constitute a signature art-form of Mildred’s Lane, several times throughout the program season. Co-curated by project collaborators and Resident-Artists-in-Complexity, Social Saturdays typically encompass a dinner party and guest lecture and/or performances by notable visiting artists.
