Projects
Empire of Dirt seeks to uphold ways for artists to connect and share ideas, approaches to creative practice, and space with each other. In addition to independent residencies, EoD also supports stand-alone and ongoing projects that more deeply engage with where we are, the local/regional/international communities we are a part of, and local ecologies.
