What We Do

Craigardan is a nonprofit arts organization and educational working farm that leverages collective creativity for social good. We bring people together for place-based and interdisciplinary learning, providing creative residencies, courses, and events that span diverse artistic and knowledge disciplines in order to foster curiosity, inquiry, and collaboration. 

Definitions

PLACE-BASED

Place-based education promotes learning that is rooted in what is local — the unique history, environment, culture, economy, literature, and art of a particular place. It includes the natural and social communities and the interplay/relationship between them.

INTERDISCIPLINARY

Interdisciplinarity involves thinking across boundaries, drawing on/from two or more disciplines in one activity or investigation. It often draws knowledge from several fields such as sociology, anthropology, architecture, economics, or art.

COLLECTIVE CREATIVITY

Collective creativity harnesses the diverse experiences, skills, and insights of individuals in the service of collaboration, learning, and open-minded engagement with materials, projects, and issues.

In 2024/2025 Craigardan will draft the organization’s second strategic plan. As a community organization we welcome your feedback, or your participation in the process. Email us to be involved.
