Slots are filling up for the inaugural summer sessions of the 2018 Plank Road Artist Residency. We have been and continue to work with a strong desire to provide a dynamic experience for our future residents.  For our first year, through personal invitation, we are offering four different two-week sessions beginning in June and concluding in August.  Plank Road Artist Residency Program provides time and space for artists to work on various elements connected to their artistic practice. The Residency supports talented artists (21yrs+) with a two-week stay in a private live/work space located on the first floor of our historic 150-year-old brick home. Along with the opportunity for a significant amount of devoted studio time, artists are asked to connect with our community through various opportunities including studio visits, performances, readings or workshops.

This summer’s roster includes:

Dayna Walton, Grand Rapids, MI

Brianna Baurichter, Milwaukee, WI

Rachel Mindrup, Omaha, NE

Lori Elliott-Bartle, Omaha, NE

Melissa Redman, Akron, OH

Artists bios, as well as updates on community engagement opportunities, will be posted on our FaceBook page.
