From Winter Shaker and Former Resident Patti Capaldi...

"It’s been so wonderful to be here watching the various changes with snow and storms, etc. Not wanting to leave on Saturday. My 3 wk stay was extremely helpful and constructive in getting work done away from the city and holiday distraction.

"Back to teaching soon. Loved the poetry trail - I don’t recall walking 14 years ago!"

Winter Shakers at the Colony

Time to come in from the cold. Make art. See a moose. Tromp the snowy pastures and raid the library. Writers, composers, visual artists visit for one to three weeks. Nothing like a winter bonfire to shift the paradigm of the possible. Stay tuned for reports from the field...

Holiday Party Report

Oh my! Can you say packed? Complete with the requisite bed-top coat art, plentiful platters, smokers braving the ccccold, and much cheery chatter, the party was a full on blast.

Caroline & I spent the weekend with the va jurors, intense, but good. Lots of excellent art out there!
