The Field will be taking our annual collective pause to rest, replenish, and return with renewed energy for the season ahead. Our staff will be offline from Monday, August 25 through Monday, September 1, resuming work on Tuesday, September 2.

As a team of artists and cultural workers ourselves, we understand that rest is not a break from the work, but rather an essential part of it. We hope this small pause allows us to care for ourselves, each other, and our ongoing commitment to you with more clarity and presence.

Please allow additional time for a response from our team during this period. If you intend on submitting a request, please take this break into consideration when planning your timeline.
