If you could choose one word to describe your time at TPAIRR what would it be?

"Holistic. The residency supported me in so many ways-- not just as a hermit writer toiling away in isolation, as I always imagined, but as a whole person."



Artists in Residence of 2018

Wendy Jane Hyatt -- Musician, Dancer, Visual Artist; Providence, Rhode Island  

"I realized recently, that my experience at TPAIRR brings to mind
the word "Doulas" which as I understand it is used to describe people
who help someone give birth.  I remember thinking that the work I
wanted to do at the residency was more difficult to expel than I had
expected. Now I sort of understand that I went there not to finish my
project but to let it out at all. I think I needed the safety, support
and warmth that you guys provided in that space so that I could go
thru that process."

David Lackner -- Enfield, Connecticut

"I really appreciated the application process. It felt unpretentious and informal yet still required some extra steps that felt necessary and useful for us both. It felt very approachable. Thanks again for inviting me and being so open and generous with your home. I left feeling very inspired to be more thoughtful about my everyday tasks and experiences. This residency happened to unexpectedly come at a time of big change for me and holds a very strong feeling of change and new beginnings."


Natasha Lynn Smith -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"I had a wonderful stay at TPAIRR. I felt welcomed and "at home" very quickly. The space really allowed me the space to think about next steps with various aspects of my life and I found a lot of inspiration from speaking with you both throughout my stay!"
