What artists said about Hambidge

This was my first artist residency ever and it couldn't have been better. During the orientation on the first day it was made clear that our artistic instincts would be trusted completely.

The residency is nestled in the woods, so expect some insects inside your studio/cabin. Wildlife is also in the area, which is wonderful but may be intimidating to some.
