Answer: A residency at Art Farm can be from 2 weeks to 5 months, depending on your project proposal.

Question: What kind of weather can I expect?
Answer: 2006-2009 average midsummer temperatures were in the high 90s. Autumn of 2001 was normal except for six tornados on a single day. August of 2003 provided a plague of insects. There can be possible weather extremes: Spring—high winds and tornadoes; Summer—heat, humidity, and insects; Fall—usually perfect, but possible cool mornings and lite snow. Rain is possible at any time. On the positive side—picture perfect sunsets, bright starry nights.
