More than 40 artists will be on view in all artistic media, from painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and video art, in addition to activations and workshops in performance, music, and the written word. “It is thrilling to see how the residency has impacted the lives of so many artists from both the East End and around the world, and we are thrilled to be able to present a platform that will allow them to share their work and deepen community connections,” says Executive Director Sheri Pasquarella.
