Sou’wester Arts Week 2022
“Play As Art”
During our third annual Arts Week The Sou’wester was given over to artists and art collectives for a week of residency work and a weekend of ‘open houses’ and ‘public performances.’
The goal of this event was to highlight the creative process and the experiential nature of the Sou’wester Residency Program. Guests experienced these living artifacts at the open studios and weekend performances.
