Community
in Residence
|
| |
The Colony is designed to facilitate a
balance between social interaction and focus on work. Private studios available
to artists 24 hours a day, together with the dining and recreation rooms
at Colony Hall, combine to provide an environment adaptable to each individual's
needs. To ensure all colonists' autonomy and privacy, no one may visit
a studio without invitation. Breakfast and dinner are served in the dining
room: lunch is delivered to each studio. After dinner, occasional presentations
are a traditional, elective part of the stimulating and supportive environment.
Readings, slide shows, open studios and informal performances allow colonists
to become acquainted with and inspired by one another's work. Friendships
established among artists in residence often lead to collaborations and
connections beyond the Colony. The maximum length of residence is two months;
an average stay is five to six weeks. There are between twenty and thirty
artists in residence ar any given time: arrivals and departures are individually
scheduled. |
