Beginning with the Artist in Residency (AiR) pilot that preceded the CAAD grant, Vassar College has pushed the disciplinary boundaries of visiting artists who come to our campus, spend time in our classrooms, and with our local community. While most of the artists CAAD works with now are connecting to MODfest and other college programming, we continue to innovate the ways in which these esteemed guests can leave a lasting impact.
