Residency
Blueprint
The program, community, and support to go from dreaming to building your own Residency.
You'll leave this program knowing exactly what kind of Residency you're building, who it's for, what to charge, and how to get your first resident through the door.
And you won't do it alone.
What you get:
1:1 Session for 45 mins with Kelly to brainstorm your Residency. Ask any and all questions.
3 month access starting June 1 to the Residency Builder Community (whatsapp group of women)
Residency Blueprint Course: Self-paced online course with 5 modules, 27 lessons.
$1,500.
Founding price $997 closes May 23rd.
The VisionWomen are being called to architect a new world — this requires an ecological approach. I’m teaching women how to build their own residencies, tap into female artist community, and join a global network of female-led residencies. Residencies are the nodes. Community is the web.
