Art Farm's physical presence is in its buildings and land. More elusive to describe is the ambiance—the subtle influence of the environment's impact on time and space. The sun and stars measure your time, not clock and calendar. Space is shaped by proximity to sound and silence. The sky: your eyes: your ears will fill with the sound and shapes of an incredible number of birds and bugs. And, like it or not, the weather will be your collaborator in all undertakings.

A shed from Art Farm, dismantled and reassembled in the Sheldon Gallery, with its interior re-modeled to serve as a viewing room for videos produced by Art Farm artists.

Art Farm’s mission is to support new artistic vision, which may be impractical, obscure, and independent of commercial recognition—where failing is no less welcomed than succeeding. To offer artists, writers, performers, and others: studios, time, and resources for pursuing their range of expression, for experimenting, for developing projects, but most of all, for distilling the promise and potential of their creative enterprise, while working and living in a rural environment.

Art Farm@Sheldon
Spring is here, the Art Farm @ Sheldon exhibit is over and now it’s time to push forward, whether it is raining or the sun is shining brightly. There is a garden to plant, studios to prepare, events to plan. Please return occasionally during the next six months, to follow what is happening and see what the artists in residence are creating. Meanwhile, click on the projects link above and read the story of Victoria.
