2025 Windgate Arts Residency Program in Wood
This year’s residency brought together six artists and a scholar whose practices span installation, sculpture, marquetry, animation, performance, social engagement, and research. For two months, they have immersed themselves in an environment that encourages experimentation, exploration, and exchange. The renowned Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program (WARP Wood), now in its twenty-eighth year, demands not perfection, but presence—testing each artist’s capacity to float, flail, and ultimately surface with something new.
