Vermont Studio Center Residency
June 9, 2017
Vermont Studio Center
80 Pearl Street
Johnson, VT
I was fortunate enough to spend a month in residence in beautiful Johnson, VT at the Vermont Studio Center during the months of May and June, 2017. The residency provided a great studio space in the Barbara White building, great food and an inspirational community over 50 other talented writers and the experience was incredibly transformative for both my studio practice and for my ongoing Homesickness Series. Highlights were a lecture and studio visit with painter Sangram Majumdar, slide nights which gave me exposure to the incredible work of my colleagues, open studio nights and the great feedback and conversations they produced and the opportunity to be reintroduced to figure drawing and working from a live model.
About the residency:
Vermont Studio Center (VSC) was founded by artists in 1984. We welcome writers and artists for residencies in Johnson, Vermont, and host programs and events. Our mission is to provide studio residencies in an inclusive, international community, honoring creative work as the communication of spirit through form. Our buildings, many of them historic Vermont landmarks, overlook the Gihon River in the northern Green Mountains.
For four decades, our residency program has offered residents and the general public an opportunity to engage with global creative communities. We invite Visiting Writers and Artists from around the world to join us during our residencies to mentor residents, present readings, facilitate craft talks, and give lectures that are open to the public.
