This residency took me away from the familiar, the known, and my usual “habits”. It also delivered me to a safe place to dwell, to find a more authentic involvement, a deeper level of engagement…. It’s not just about time, and it’s not just about the community of artists, rather it’s the historical weight and energy that makes this place what it is. The residency has provided the safe harbor to think and reflect, the space to conduct my research and execute work, and the positivity and support of an incredible staff to fuel my future.

The PowerPoint has been used and adapted for conferences, presentations to the boards of artists’ communities, and for the Alliance’s "Be Our Guest" series of public information sessions on residencies.
