Skowhegan

This residency offers an invaluable opportunity to have many relationships with early-career artists in unpredictable ways, leading to develop life long friendships and connections. I was able to work in studio, receive mentorship from established artists, and be supported to do self-directed experiments. I was given practical advice on the challenges of being an artist including many examples of different lifestyles. This residency was able to meet the needs of disabled and neurodivergent participants. A con or pro is that this residency is very social but you can have solitary moments.
