Requirements
Applicants must be enrolled or have successfully completed at least one year of education at the university level or school of higher education, and we recommend that students not be out of school more than 10 years. Selections will be made based on the applicant’s previous work and presentation skills within the realm of art, architecture, design, and fabrication. Knowledge in architecture or construction is not required for this workshop. +FARM encourages a diversity of participants, as their unique experience will add to the complex equation of design.
Accommodations
Lodging and meals are not included in the studio fee. +Farm has a partnership with a local merchant that will provide affordable, and comfortable lodging. Participants will stay at the Palm Gardens Motel in the Village of Gowanda with the other team members and pay the motel directly. Rooms will run approximately $20-$25 per night.
Each participant has the ability to customize their own meals, either by visiting the local grocery store and cooking at the farm or at a one of several dining locations in the village. A complete list of culinary options will be made available.
