Are you a budding writer, or keen to hear the works of emerging authors? Then join Art Farm in the Friends Room on Saturday, March 29 for Words from a Field, a public reading of works from their artist and writers residency in Marquette, Nebraska. The event will showcase five writers who have walked among the corn, whose brows have dropped sweat from collective work and whose eyes still glow from the memory of an evening's campfire.
There will be a Q & A session following the reading and refreshments will be served.
What is Art Farm residency?
Spanning 32 years of continuous operation, Art Farm has shared a novel version of the rural Nebraskan experience with more than 1,000 artists and writers from 128 disciplines, attracting diverse and creative individuals from across the United States and 27 countries worldwide. Unique to their residency is our patchwork of salvaged and abandoned century-old farm buildings (18+ total) moved to the property from nearby farmsteads, which are actively repurposed and expanded to meet the growing needs of the residency.
Each summer, Art Farm supports on average 70 residents who stay varying lengths of time on the farm for no cost in exchange for 12 weekly hours of communal volunteer labor. Residents are selected based on artistic potential and encourage an inclusive, cooperative, and collaborative community that spans a wide range of disciplines, perspectives, backgrounds, and identities.
