The Poor Farm was founded in 2009 by Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam to facilitate and present artist’s projects, forums, and yearlong exhibitions at the former Waupaca County Poor Farm (built in 1876) in Little Wolf, Wisconsin. The Great Poor Farm Experiment is a series of exhibitions and educational forums that has been held for the past nine years at the Poor Farm located in rural Waupaca County, Wisconsin.
