Being affiliated with the Alliance of Artists Communities has added immeasurable value to the Djerassi Resident Artists Program. As a founding institution, we have had the opportunity to watch the Alliance mature to become the leading force for the field that is reaping huge benefits in visibility and direct support. Creating networks with our peers, advancing our collective missions, providing funding partnerships and caring about our issues are the Alliance’s strengths, and the value that we, as membership residency programs, gain from our association.

Northwest Regional Meeting

Spring

2004

Portland, Oregon

A fine time was had by all at Oregon College of Art & Craft. The group was inspired by a discussion on “Artists’ Communities as Environmental Stewards” and the region showed a strong level of commitment to their local communities. The discussions were interspersed with a glazing and raku firing, which gave many of us new appreciation for ceramic artists. Bullseye Connection gave the group a private gallery showing, and an exciting tour of the Bullseye Glass Co. Factory. Of the 18 attendees, 10 had never attended Alliance gatherings before, so it was a great opportunity to meet and join forces.
