Through our Artist Support Program, New Media Gallery Program, and Writers Program, we select over thirty artists/teams annually to create new work in our studios.
Jack Straw has a commitment to art and technology education for all ages. We have implemented a wide range of classroom and in-studio learning programs for children from elementary through high school.
We provide education and training to adults through our professional audio workshops, artist residency programs, and internships.
