The exhibition features thirty artists who participated in Nido (Italian for "nest"), an artist residency in Monte Castello di Vibio, a hill town in the Umbria region of Italy. The artworks feature a wide range of subjects and multitude of sensory approaches that distill, echo, reflect, and respond to a shared place-based experience. The artworks demonstrate how artist residencies serve as a site of research and play, connecting artists and ideas, fostering community, and laying the groundwork for new approaches to thinking and working, while rapidly transmitting culture.
Artists include Amber J. Anderson, Leslie Baum, Rachel Collier, Gianna Commito, Daisy Craddock, Bailey Fritz, Mary Griffin, Keeley Haftner, Kate Hampel, Mark Jeffery, Kelly Kaczynski, Arnold J. Kemp, Audrey Hynes Kilinski, Emily Lanctot, Amy Lang, Heather Lyon, Kristin Mariani, Jeffrey McMahon, Stephanie McMaho, Heather Mekkelson, Judd Morrissey, Jessica Mueller, Ruth L.
