A bit of Skowhegan lite, great artists- really international, not just the usual Germany and Japan. I was there with artists from Cuba, Mexico, Nigeria, China, Chile. Brazil, all over Europe and the United States that I am still in touch with. The owner is a brilliant eccentric, housing is newish, beautiful area. One of the best aspect is all the studio visits (one of the few residencies that does this), they bring in galleries, critics, and curators the duration of the residency. The barn is wide open and a bit hard to work in, bring work if you can for studio visits. — Anonymous, 2013. Imported from the original ratemyartistresidency.com archive.
