Enter the Labyrinth of Deep Actions
Mildred’s Lane 2026
A new chapter begins.
Mildred’s Lane is reaching outward—to institutions ready to think differently, make differently, and move differently.
We invite you to become a sending institution and nominate students prepared for an immersive encounter with art as lived practice.
An Immersive Collective Experience
In the deep woods of the Upper Delaware River Valley, participants join an emergent collective—sharing labor, ideas, meals, experiments, and inquiry.
This is not a conventional residency.
It is a lived, daily practice of collaboration.
Each day unfolds through:
Lectures and critical dialogues
Performances and presentations
Hands-on collaborations
Shared work and shared reflection
Together, participants challenge inherited assumptions about the so-called “Art Industry” and cultivate new forms of attention, agency, and social imagination.
For Sending Institutions
Institutional partners receive:
Up to 25% support toward program fees
Room and board for participants
Full access to all lectures, workshops, and cultural programming
Placement within a dynamic, interdisciplinary cohort
We work closely with institutions to ensure meaningful integration with academic goals and student development.
The Setting
Removed from urban urgency yet deeply connected to contemporary discourse, Mildred’s Lane offers a focused, immersive environment where inquiry and making are inseparable.
Here, complexity is not simplified—it is lived.

Our 2026 program continues to expand this evolving educational experiment. Early inquiries are encouraged, as placements are limited.
Enter the labyrinth with curiosity and courage.
