The 2012 Residency has begun!

The 2012/13 Residency for Arts Workers as Artists kicked of last Friday night, August 10, 2012. Each of the seven new residents told us a little bit about their past and ongoing projects, shared their plans for the three-week intensive period of the residency, and got to know each other over a lively group dinner.  The 2012/13 group of artists is Jonathan Durham, Francis Estrada, Elizabeth Hamby, Jamie Kim, Naomi Miller, Sarah Walko, and Howard Halle. Check back soon for more updates as the 2012 residency gets rolling!
