Summer Workshop Series
From 2020-2022, Empire of Dirt held a series of outdoor summer workshops led by artists, community members, and visitors that explore different ways and approaches to art making.
From 2023 onward, Empire of Dirt has been offering open studios as part of our regular residency programming. As part of maintaining an active role in the local creative ecologies of Creston, EoD invites visitors to attend open studios and workshops, learn from and with visiting artists, and gather.
