Why be an artist-in-residence?
I answer that very question in the summer SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associate, Inc.) Journal. The issue finally made its way out of customs and includes my article, “Re-start your art through an artist’s residency.” SAQA is an organization to which all artists and patrons of art quilts should belong.
You can see from photos from my residency at Quilt, Inc.’s Great Expectations Creativity Center and at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts that I have found residencies to be an opportunity to take risks and create, create, create. Where else do you have 24/7 with nothing to do but think about and make art? Nirvana!
