Artists Communities: A Directory of Residencies in the United States Offering Time and Space for Creativity
Editorial Reviews The Chronicle of Philanthropy "Compiled by the Alliance of Artists' Communities, a consortium based in Portland, Oregon . . . the book begins with an overview of the growth of artists' communities and a piece by the poet Stanley Kunitz extolling their virtues." High Performance "Artists Communities . . . is one of those books that comes along all too infrequently, providing not only an indispensable tool for artists of every discipline, but also a rare picture of a moment in American art history. The directory provides two-page profiles and photographs of 70 leading artists' communities (once called colonies'), as well as an overview of the field. . . . Poet Stanley Kunitz writes an introduction and four artists provide accounts of their experiences at The MacDowell Colony (New Hampshire), The Yard (Massachusetts), Ragdale (Illinois), and Sculpture Space (New York). Finally, the entries are augmented with a list of 40 other venues' that run residency programs in the U.S., and the addresses of 120 foreign residency programs. Besides being a great resource, the book is fun to peruse and wish over, and makes a lovely gif."t Artists Communities: A Directory of Residencies in the United States Offering Time and Space for Creativity
