The notes they’ve written about their work come from the informal discussion we share KATHERINE DYER MINNESOTA
in our Slack study space. The photographs were taken by the Residents as they worked in

their studios. Each week, the artists have a general focus that keeps them on track without NANETTE FREEMAN ILLINOIS

constraining them to a particular medium or practice. VIRGINIA MASERANG TEXAS

We are profoundly grateful to these twelve creative Residents for their generosity in sharing LINDA RAEL TEXAS

their unfinished work in progress with each other and with us as a general audience. So often, BRITA REKVE ARKANSAS

we see only the finished product, but it is the process and the journey that gives us the courage HEATHER TINKHAM MINNESOTA
to create. ROSA INES VERA MARYLAND
