Foundation House, CT, Artist Residency Experience Part 5 Some Other Scenes


As a part of activities as a group, I had an opportunity to do an artist talk.  It was not a requirement.  What you do for the group is totally up to the individual resident.  In my artist talk, I talk about the stories behind the work that I don't normally write in the artist statement. 



Daily conversations with other artists and writers were nourishing, heartwarming, and thought-provoking.  We were a mix of visual artists and writers.  It was the first time I attended  "reading" events by writers.  Here, Annita is reading her work at the Open Studios event.  


This is the formal dining room for dinner for everybody to get together, but this is not the formal formal dining room.

This is the artist kitchen.  There are snacks and drinks here and we can have them freely anytime.  This is not the main kitchen by the way.


At one point, I was shown a gym in the basement.  After that, I could never find it.  This photo is the proof that I saw it!  



I even got to swim in the pool!  I enjoyed watching the beautiful colors of the pool with the house in the background.


Some more photos of the beauty of this place.
