The Artist in Residence develops and shares new work; engages students, researchers, and the public; offers opportunities for skill- and knowledge-sharing workshops; and creates space for personal inquiry and collaborative relationships to flourish. Aided by the Center’s collection of over 1,000 rare books and manuscripts, gardens, and meadowscape, artists explore the ways in which their work intersects with Renaissance (1490-1750) thought and craft to produce work that generates new perspectives on the relationship between the early modern world and our own.
