Fallingwater Accepting Applications to Its Summer Educational Programs
When Edgar Kaufmann jr. entrusted Fallingwater to the Conservancy in 1963, he hoped it would become a place where scholars, students and artists could collaborate to expand their knowledge. Today, the Fallingwater Institute provides learning opportunities through its weeklong residency programs each summer.
High school students interested in architecture and design can join one of two residency programs. The teacher and museum educator residency helps educators design activity-based curriculum and projects. For lifelong learners, our Insight/Onsite three-day experience provides lectures and a deeper exploration of Fallingwater. View each residency’s application requirements and deadlines, which are approaching in May and June.
