A fond farewell to our artist- and writer- parents

The 2026 juried residency season began on Friday, May 29 when we welcomed five artist- and writer-parents for a one-week residency. What a gracious and memorable group of artists and writers. This was the first of two one-week residencies specifically for artist- and writer-parents with children under the age of 18 as well as full-time caregivers (regardless of the age of their dependent).

Thanks to Neil Kramer for taking the family portrait above (L-R): creative nonfiction writer Genevieve Yue, photographer Neil Kramer, poet Ryan Black, and visual artists Athesia Benjamin and Elizabeth Tolson.
