The Almanack Arts Colony celebrates excellence in the arts by providing a quiet place as well as a respite from the market for artists and arts organizations. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Colonists will come from a diverse set of disciplines and reside on the property where they will enjoy the freedom to create new work. With multiple perspectives at play, potentially simultaneously, AAC envisions artists will move beyond the notion of a solitary “study” to a collaborative engagement resulting in a cross-pollination of creative work that would otherwise be difficult to cultivate and support.
