Groundwork Residency

Shadowcliff is connecting changemakers to Grand County

Groundwork: A Residency for Emerging Collaborations provides space and time for a collective, new or emerging organization, or group of collaborators using creative approaches to timely, urgent, or vital work.

How the Groundwork Residency Works

The Groundwork Residency at Shadowcliff is currently an invitational program. But, if you represent a collective, new or emerging organization, or group of collaborators interested in learning more about Shadowcliff or bringing your work to Grand Lake, we'd love to hear from you!
