Working in the arts presents unique challenges and rewards for artist families. Drawing on the many cultural and ecological resources of Cooperstown and the surrounding Central New York region, Aunt Karen’s Farm is committed to providing residencies for the whole family with conversation, family activities, shared meals, and quiet time for contemplation, creating support and enrichment within a network of similar art professionals. ​

​In August 2017, they worked collaboratively with The Farmers’ Museum to provide rural educational programming for the urban families who participated. This work was made possible through the generous support of the Sustainable Arts Foundation.
