What Enso Circle Residents say
“Knowing the teachers and knowing I needed to reach out to a like-minded group of people to keep me focused on producing more art seemed like a dream place at the right time. (It was)!
It became a place of refuge for me I just couldn’t wait for the next ping on my Slack site, the community built from this residency is more than I could have ever thought possible, the organization behind the scenes has been enormous I know, but such a smooth outcome and beautiful group of ‘found’ friends.” Marian McKenzie-Cone, Two-term Resident, New Zealand |
The entire experience of the ENSO Circle has been so good for me on so many levels. It has pushed me to try new things and experiment with some kinds of making that I’ve wanted to do for years. It has encouraged me to let go of expectations and experiment more openly.
Through the residency, I’ve been able to take the time and space to concentrate on some deeply personal work that has allowed me to work through some emotions in a very cathartic way. It has helped me to feel more supported and like I have a “crew” I can talk to about art things who “get it”. Sarah Treanor, Three-term Resident, Northeast Ohio |
