WATER IS ART
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH IT
The sea doesn't ask who you are, what you believe in, how you are feeling, what kind of artist you are - it provokes you to ask those questions. Answers are not guaranteed nor encouraged.
adriftproject Residency lives on a boat, with a large and well equipped shop/studio on board; and very comfortable living accommodations for the crew and two artists at a time. You will have a private cabin (that can be opened up for couples) and a section of the studio for your work. We offer sessions by the week or month, with artists coming and going depending on where we are and what time of year it is. We are open to artists of all types including writers, photographers, musicians, performers, etc. I myself am a mechanical sculptor and educator, beyond elated to be able to share this experience with other creatives!
