The Jamestown Arts Center hosted a vibrant “Working Artists Residency” closing exhibition on Friday evening, August 26, 2022. The artists had a mere five days to produce the work shown. By all accounts, it was an amazing endeavor and a great success. Working Artists’ Residency Director and artist Kevin Gilmore said, “In such a short amount of time, eight artists came together, formed a community, inspired each other, helped each other and created this amazing evening. In five days!”
