Artists in Residence
The goal of our Artists in Residence (AIR) program is to harness the creativity, concerns, and intelligence of youth in contemporary art making.
Working in a variety of media, through research and workshops over several years, the AIR – each highly regarded in their respective fields and with an active practice outside of Usdan -- engages our campers as equal collaborators in the development of a new piece.
The intention: For the collaborative work created to be shown outside the camp context in the professional arts setting.
Usdan's Artists in Residence are:
- DJ Kool Herc & Cindy Campbell, the First Lady of Hip Hop (2024-26)
- Avi Cmon & Rebecca S'manga Frank (2023-25)
- Superhero Clubhouse (2022–24)
- The Knights (2020–23)
- International Contemporary Ensemble (2017–19)
- Pedro Lasch (2017-19)
