We hosted 36 writers, artists and activists, 26 of whom were awarded fellowships. We partnered with our local radio station, KWMR, on programs featuring interviews with each resident. We hosted 7 DIY Retreats, serving 8 prior residents and other writers working on projects related to Mesa Refuges areas of focus (the environment, economic equity, and social justice). We launched a new pilot program called Alum Weeks, which served 5 previous Mesa Refuge residents. We also offered several virtual and in-person author events in collaboration with local organizations
