The School of Making Thinking (SMT) is a summer residency program where artists and academics think, create, and live together in a communal setting.  SMT’s mission is to create a unique environment where participants are able to create original work that challenges disciplinary conventions of art-making and thinking. The School of Making Thinking sets itself apart from traditional residency programs in three important respects.  First, SMT participants hail from a far more diverse range of disciplines.  Our alumni are botanists, dancers, playwrights, painters, poets, philosophers, fiction writers, audio documentarians, filmmakers, performance artists, and PhD candidates from English and American Studies departments.  Second, collaboration is an essential component of each participant’s project.  Third, SMT is a school in which participants teach and learn from one another.

Applicants are asked to submit a project proposal.  It may be a work-in-progress, a brand new idea, or a work in its final stages.
