Our third Hupstate Circus Festival Residency is in the books! πŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸŽ­πŸ€ΉπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸŽͺ

 

What an absolute pleasure it was to host these delightful and talented humans. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and creating community in Ithaca. And many thanks to Circus Culture for being the best co-conspirators a residency program could ask for. Looking forward to next year! πŸ™Œ

We’re also SO grateful for the thoughtful testimonials you have been sharing about your retreat.

 

Here are a couple excerpts that touched our hearts:

 

From Katherine: “It was a treat, a joy, and also a challenge to have basically everything taken care of… and for my only job to be creative for an entire week. Aside from generating lots of material, I came to understand my own creative process better, and had the pleasure of witnessing the other artists around me create in their own ways. I also took full advantage of the opportunity to rest, enjoy long morning journalling sessions and be in nature.”

 

From Linda: “I don’t even have enough words to express how inspiring & rejuvenating this artist residency was.”

 

From Heather: “The setting, the community and my fellow artists who were there made it one of the most warm and inviting artistic experiences I’ve had in a long time. Special thanks to chef Mandy for the amazing dinners and desserts that we had every night.”
