ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Studio By The Track’ Artist Residency program invites local and regional artists to create new works in collaboration with and inspired by SBTT artists. The program strives to enrich the experience of artists served directly by the organization while expanding SBTT’s audience, capacity to serve, and educational and cultural offerings available to the community. The program provides creative and economic opportunities to local artists in an inclusive, supportive, nurturing environment.

WITH GIVE
WITH GIVE
‘With Give’ was an evolving, interactive exhibition that relies on community participation to be fully realized. Over the course of the exhibition, participants assisted in the natural dyeing and processing of yarn, rope, tshirts and bedsheets into strips of material that will then be woven on the BFL (Big Friendly Loom), an eight foot wide jumbo loom whose warp spans the width of The Old Bailey Gallery (17.5 feet). In addition to cooperative dyeing and weaving, several interactive soft sculptures will be available in the gallery for engagement. Through touch, participants will feel their way through making, giving, and being with one another.
“I learned how to make work that brought pleasure to myself and others...The radical acceptance I received has shifted my relationship to art making and will continue to be a fount of inspiration and confidence for years to come. In this way, SBTT has helped me to grow ever closer to my true human potential by helping me to better trust myself.”
