			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hall Farm Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the processes of artistic creation and their integration into schools and communities. Central to our mission is Hall Farm, a 221-acre retreat in Townshend, Vermont that provides an environment for artists, educators, and students to investigate experiment, collaborate, and create. Direct support for working artists is provided through summer residencies at Hall Farm, where they can devote sustained attention to their creative endeavors. During the school year, we offer workshops for educators on the integration of the arts into school curricula, as well as space, instruction, and resources to young and emerging artists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In recent years, traditional sources of direct funding for working artists have diminished significantly.  Artists’ residency programs now play a vital role in offering support once made available by foundations and government agencies.  Hall Farm Center, located on a 221-acre retreat in Southern Vermont, provides fully funded artists’ residency fellowships of up to one month to emerging and established artists working in a variety of media.  Residents are provided with their own rooms in a renovated 1830’s farmhouse, private studio space, and all meals. The goal is to foster the careers of writers, visual artists, and performers by providing the time and environment that make the creation of new work possible.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reaching students of diverse learning skills and abilities is one of the most urgent issues facing public school classrooms today. Teachers must have multiple access points for students of all learning types. Hall Farm Center&#8217;s In Arts initiative helps teachers meet the needs of the inclusive classroom setting by utilizing the arts to create a rigorous, content-driven curriculum that engages all students. The program guides educators in the development of lessons that incorporate the arts, thus improving instruction by fostering creativity, analytical thinking, and stronger writing skills. Not only is In Arts crucial to the enhancement of the educational experience, but it is also a sustainable program that schools are able to implement beyond Hall Farm&#8217;s direct involvement.</p>
