ARTmoves Residencies
Building on the themes and art forms presented by the international artists of the Festival, Ordway Center works closely with schools, community organizations, and fellow arts and cultural partners to develop in depth art projects that relate to the Festival’s themes.

• Lisa Abbatomarco- At Scheffer Recreation Center is working with participants to create a unit themed around an animal’s picnic. The residency provides an opportunity to enact the theme of celebrating community: sharing cultures, building friendships
• Soozin Hirschmugl is working at West 7th community center. Her residency plays on the ideas of transformation and character and friendship and is inspired by the puppetry of Hugo and Ines.
