Artist-in-Residency Program in the Brambleton Library Makerspace

We’re collaborating with the Loudoun Arts Council on an artist residency project focusing on the creative process and art as a community builder. Artists are encouraged to use the residency to explore ideas, take risks, and solve problems. Since they are working in the open library, artists can engage with the public about their process and ideas. Patrons, in turn, can watch the artistic process in action and then actively work with the artist on a project to practice those skills or create their own interpretation. The residency can last 2-3 months.  Supplies for programs will be covered and artists are welcome to use makerspace equipment.  Past artists have included an opera singer, photographer, pastel artist, and pianist. Please send me an email if you’re interested.
