Description

After the resounding success of Craft 101 in 2024, Arts Letters & Numbers is excited to bring the program back, bigger, more immersive, and more interdisciplinary than ever.
Between July 1 and August 30, our Averill Park campus will host over twenty unique programs designed to blend technical skill-building with conceptual exploration. Through hands-on mentorship, material experimentation, and collaborative inquiry, participants will have the freedom to move across disciplines, forging deep connections between ideas, people, and practices.
With an expanded lineup of artists, scholars, and practitioners, Craft 101 2025 continues its mission to transform education, pushing boundaries, fostering exchange, and rethinking how we learn and create.
Join them in this evolving experiment, where learning isn’t just about acquiring knowledge, it’s about exploration, making, and discovery.

Accommodation Information

Accommodations are handled on a case-by-case basis. Please email them for more information.

They offer three distinct accommodation options to suit various preferences, ensuring that every artist finds a living arrangement that meets their needs.

1. House on the Hill: Centrally located on our campus, this option offers both single and shared rooms, making it ideal for those who thrive in a collaborative environment and prefer to be at the heart of campus activities. The house offers full living comforts, including access to cooking and laundry facilities.

2. The Twins: Just across the street from the House on the Hill, The Twins offer single and shared rooms within individual apartments, providing a bit more privacy. This option is perfect for artists who seek a balance between social interaction and personal space. The Twins also offer full living comforts, with access to kitchen and laundry facilities.

3. The Inn: For maximum privacy, The Inn offers single and shared rooms just a minute’s drive or a ten-minute walk from the main campus. This proximity ensures easy access to studios and communal spaces while providing a quiet environment for your stay. Although The Inn operates more like a hotel, with no on-site cooking facilities, residents can utilize the kitchens on the main campus. Additionally, guests staying at The Inn will receive a $50 weekly voucher to ALN's La Perla Restaurant (voted "Best New Restaurant in the Capital District" in 2001), adding a delightful Italian dining experience to their stay.

Each accommodation option is an integral part of our campus, strategically positioned to support a productive and dynamic environment. Whether you choose the central location of the House on the Hill, the balanced privacy of The Twins, or the relative seclusion of The Inn, you will have access to all the resources and opportunities our residency offers. The aim is to provide living arrangements that enhance the creative process and contribute to a fulfilling residency experience.

Studio Information

Between July 1 and August 30, 2025 over twenty unique programs will take place on and around our Averill Park campus, offering an immersive environment where participants can develop both technical skills and conceptual depth. By bringing together a wide spectrum of material, spatial, and poetic practices, we seek to foster deep connections, between disciplines, between people, and between ideas.
At the heart of Craft 101 is a commitment to transforming education. The porous structure allows participants to move freely between disciplines, exploring multiple fields of interest rather than being confined to a single focus. They encourage participants to engage in multiple programs, discover unexpected intersections, and shape their own learning journeys in ways that reflect their individual curiosities and aspirations.
With an expanded lineup of programs and an ever-growing network of artists, scholars, and practitioners, Craft 101 2025 builds on the foundation of last year’s success while pushing further toward a more open, dynamic, and collaborative approach to learning. While this year’s full roster of programs is still unfolding, the organisers are excited to share more details soon.
