What happens when you gather 10 mixed
disciplined artists, and a facilitator for 9 days in the hills of western
Massachusetts and provide them with space, time, peer-to-peer Fieldwork workshops, and
delicious vegetarian food? The answer: Artward Bound!
I experienced a metamorphosis as the seedling
of my idea transformed into actual material. I feel inspired and excited to
continue my work.

Artward Bound fosters art-making of all disciplines at an unparalleled qualitative level in a progressive and transformative environment.
Artward Bound was a wonderful
experience. I'm grateful for the opportunity to develop my work and create in
an environment outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Having
the gift of being planted away from the minutiae of my daily life - in a a community with no distractions - is
exactly the boost I need to make new work.

The
experience of Artward Bound was pivotal in my journey as an artist at both a
creative and practical level. I am overflowing with gratitude to have been able to
experience this time which, in retrospect, seems like it should be a part of
every artist’s development.
