The Port Austin Artist in Residence Program Award
The Port Austin Artist in Residence program, also known as Port Austin AiR, has announced Barbara Martin has been awarded a two-week residency in August 2023. The program aims to create dynamic dialogue with artists from Michigan, the mid-West, and the world. Visiting artists will be able to stay and work in the Bee Barn studio/residence and create works inspired by Port Austin, its people, its beaches, parks, its water, its night sky, its summer tempos and its winter quiet. The program offers access to resources, facilities, and a community of like-minded individuals, all of which can help an artist grow and develop their craft. It is a unique and valuable experience that can have a lasting impact on an artist’s career. Port Austin is a scenic village located at the tip of Michigan’s thumb on the shores of Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay.
During her residency, Barbara will be exploring her mark-making style of painting as well as tool making. She will hold an open studio at the Bee Barn on Sunday, August 20 from 10:30 - 3:00 to demonstrate her painting style and invite the community to collaborate on a scroll of blended panels. She is also planning an exhibit and art talk at the Bee Barn (20 Washington Street) on August 24 at 6:00 p.m., where she will present the work she has created at Port Austin.
