The HM Artist Residency program is a unique opportunity for selected UD students to immerse themselves in nature and studio art for a week at the John Dorr Nature Lab in Bethlehem, CT. Under the mentorship of HM Visual Arts faculty, students will explore their curiosities through projects of their design. Being at Dorr is a chance for a cohort of artists to take initiative in their artistic growth and support one another in an intentional environment. Students will work independently in the mediums of their choice (i.e., painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media) and meet regularly with faculty and as a group to discuss their work. At the start of the following school year, students returning to HM will work with Ms. Harpel to curate and install a show of their residency projects in the HM Gallery. Preference will be given to rising Juniors and Seniors. Students do not need to be enrolled in an art class to be considered.
