“This was a great opportunity to have space and time to try some new things with my work I don't ordinarily have the space to do. Laurie and Stefan were great about providing what was needed to work, it was also great to have them come by and talk about the work with me.”
— Cody Healey-Conelly, 2023-24 Winter Resident
“The space at ArtPort is amazing for artists to create work in a unique setting in a cool location! The apartment is beautiful. I hope to return.”
