New Year. I’ll be spending January in Seattle as a “Creative Resident” at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The residency will support my LTER sci-comm research at the Landscape Architecture Foundation. As with past residencies, I will also be prospecting for new creative communities and projects while in the area. So, please reach out. I always welcome recommendations and referrals to folks that might be a good fit for future collaborations…or an insider guide to the local nerdy spots.

About the Bloedel Residency (in their own words): The mission of the Creative Residency program at Bloedel Reserve is to foster creative thinking that is inspired by nature and that explores the connection between humans and the environment. Selected artists and innovative thinkers are provided a three-week stay on the Bloedel grounds, with unlimited access to the Reserve’s 150 acres of sculpted gardens, forests, meadows, and wildlife habitats. Established in 2015, the program has welcomed Creative Residents from a wide variety of disciplines, giving them the time to nurture their passions and deepen the connection between creativity, nature, and humanity.
