Tuttle Creative Residencies
Tuttle Creative Residencies encourage faculty to organize artist residencies that engage pedagogy, creation, public presentation, and dialogue among artists, faculty, students, staff, and area communities.
The program encourages residency designs that offer multiple touch-points for the Haverford community to interact with visiting artists. Residencies may take the form of a few days, a concentrated week of activity, or multiple campus and/or virtual artist visits throughout the semester.
Past Tuttle Creative Residents have included Applied Mechanics, Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, Lightning Rod Special, Deborah A. Miranda, Sparrow, Joan Naviyuk Kane, François-Xavier Gbré, Alice Notley, Zoe Strauss, Hank Willis Thomas, Christine Sun Kim, Matmos, and many others.

The Kessinger Family Fund for Asian Performing Arts
The Kessinger Family Fund for Asian Performing Arts sponsors musical performances and lecture-demonstrations that enrich Haverford's cross-cultural programs. Since its inception in 1997, the fund has supported visits by artists representing traditions of South, Central, and East Asia, and Indonesia. The fund promotes encounters with live musicians and other artists who exemplify the diverse performing arts of Asia.
Dialogues on Art
Dialogues on Art are excursions that bring together small, interdisciplinary groups of students, faculty, and staff to visit exhibitions, performances, and screenings in the greater Philadelphia area followed by a conversation over lunch or dinner in the city.
The Center covers the cost of travel, admission or ticket fees, and meals. Any Haverford faculty member, student, or staff member may propose a Dialogues trip.
For information contact Kelly Jung, or visit the HCAH office in VCAM 104.

June 17–23 2023
Skidmore College, NY
The Hurford Center for the Arts and Humanities supports faculty/staff and students to attend the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, the longest continuously running documentary film event in North America. Named after Robert Flaherty, considered by many to be the father of documentary film, the week-long seminar brings together over 160 filmmakers, artists, curators, scholars, students, and film enthusiasts to celebrate the power of the moving image.
2023 Flaherty Film Seminar Programmers: Jon Davies & Steve Reinke. Learn more about this year's Flaherty Seminar. For more information, contact Kelly Jung.
This opportunity is open to Haverford faculty and staff, as well as current Haverford students and TriCo students who have completed substantial coursework in film at Haverford. While the Flaherty has previously only allowed those who are 21 and older to attend, this year they may open the Seminar to younger folks. Please apply if you’re interested in attending, no matter your age, and we will inform you of the Flaherty’s decision as soon as we know.
