The Alliance’s first Southeast Regional Meeting was held at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts. Brought together by great conversations and good Southern cooking, the group tackled issues of developing an organizational brand, addressing artists’ expectations, and communicating to the public. One of the meeting’s highlights was an Open Studios Tour by Arrowmont’s artists-in-residence, who generously opened their home and workspaces to the attendees.

This residency took me away from the familiar, the known, and my usual “habits”. It also delivered me to a safe place to dwell, to find a more authentic involvement, a deeper level of engagement…. It’s not just about time, and it’s not just about the community of artists, rather it’s the historical weight and energy that makes this place what it is. The residency has provided the safe harbor to think and reflect, the space to conduct my research and execute work, and the positivity and support of an incredible staff to fuel my future.
