2022 Resident Artists will be announced on March 15th and studios will be ready for move in on June 3, 2022

2021 Resident Artist recipient Lorena Sferlazza says, “I can’t emphasize enough what a gift The Norwalk Art Space has been in my life this past year. It’s been a tough season for many, and this place has given me hope. I grew up in Norwalk, though no place like this one existed at the time. Now as an adult back in the area, I’m so grateful for the honest community that’s been developed here. You see it everywhere: from the hardworking café staff to the volunteers who greet you with a smile at the front desk and the eager, talented high school students who take our free classes. It’s been a privilege and an honor to collaborate in teaching and creating here.” 

Resident Artist, Emily Teall, added, “My residency at the Norwalk Art Space transformed my artistic outlook, reinvigorated my passion for the arts, and provided access to an invaluable community. The Norwalk Art Space uniquely filled gaps in my prior experience with essential support. I’ve learned practical and technical skills surrounding showing and selling work, and have received insightful critiques and support with materials. Teaching local students and keeping with Alexandra Davern-Korry’s human rights vision is immensely motivational and exciting; collaborating with students pushes my own work further. The greatest asset of the Norwalk Art Space is the powerful community it provides. The genuine kindness and passion of everyone involved transformed my artistic mindset and gave me confidence and joy.”
