The Council’s signature Workspace artist residency has now been expanded into a 9-month program in two locations, serving a diverse group of 30 emerging artists at one time.

Starting with a party from 6-10PM on Friday, April 27, the Council will open both studio spaces to the public for only the second time since the session began in September. Artists and writers will show work created while in-residence through open hours at the studios, a Saturday night screening, and a Sunday night “Open Texts” reading and performance.
