Pam Chevez (IAA Summer 2019) (@pam.chevez) joins us today at Hewnoaks as part of our new partnership with IAA (@indigoartsalliance), which this year will offer four current or former IAA Artists-in-Residence an opportunity to develop new work along the shores of Kezar Lake.

Pam plans to use her ten-day residency to "find a new growth in my style through block printing and larger format painting. Exploring new elements and finding a way to connect my city self from the past with more nature elements from both, my home in Maine and my roots in Mexico."

Welcome to Hewnoaks, Pam!

A big thank you to the Haney-Leighton fund for the grant that made this partnership possible.

Stay tuned for more on Pam's residency experience at Hewnoaks.

Meet Ebenezer Akakpo (IAA Summer 2019) (@akakpoandco)! Today we welcome Ebenezer, the second of four Indigo Arts Alliance Artists-in-Residence, to Hewnoaks as part of our exciting new partnership with IAA (@indigoartsalliance).

Ebenezer plans to use his ten-day long residency to "practice a visual programming language integrated with my Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software."

Join us in extending a warm welcome to Ebenezer. Adding a growing list of accomplishments, Ebenezer's bus stop installation, Hope and Friendship, in Portland, ME was selected as Best Bus Stop in the USA by Streetsblog USA in 2022!

A big thank you to the Haney-Leighton fund for the grant that made this partnership possible.

Stay tuned for more on Ebenezer's residency experience at Hewnoaks!

Hewnoaks is offering nearly 60 artists an opportunity to recapture something that's elusive these days: the deep unbroken concentration that powers creative discovery.

Midway through our season, we need YOUR HELP to propel our residents' onward journeys. In 2022, Hewnoaks partnered with nominators statewide to award residencies directly to underrepresented artists. We charged no application fees, which ordinarily provide a sizeable portion of the income we rely on. Your gift of any size will help fill that funding gap and ensure we have enough fuel in the tank to carry our talented artists wherever they need to go.

Thank you for considering an online gift today!

Join us for Hewnoaks signature public program Wild Light on Saturday, August 13, 3-7pm. Showcasing an assortment of pop-up exhibitions, installations, interactive performances, and participatory, family-friendly arts experiences by Hewnoaks alumni, the event takes place at our beautiful lakeside campus and is presented in collaboration with the Greater Lovell Land Trust.

Food will be served, and beer - courtesy of Oxbow Brewing Co. - will be flowing. There is no charge to attend. Bring your camp chairs and picnic blankets as the event will culminate in a lawn concert.

While we welcome walk-ins, we'd appreciate it if you could help us estimate headcount by registering (link in bio). Registration is free, but you have the option of making a gift, which we'd gratefully accept to help us cover event costs.

Thanks to Norway Savings Bank, Davis Family Foundation and Oxbow Brewing Co. for their generous support.
