Friday March 31st is the deadline for creatives to submit their work to
the 2017 Artists in Residence Program hosted by the Friends of the Porkies in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness
of Upper Michigan.
If selected you'll spend up to three weeks in a great cabin, nestled just
off a sparsely traveled trail cut through a quiet stretch of authentic, upper Midwestern wilderness.
And within spittin' distance of Lake Superior, the most magnificent body
of freshwater left in the world.
The Friends are gracious hosts. My time there in October of 2012 was
among the best two weeks of my life. I did some of the finest work of my life,
while there. Everything in the film clip below labeled "Ontonagon
County" was accomplished during my stay at Dan's Cabin.
I'm again promoting the program because I'm committed to do that every
year, for so long as the Friends and I are both in business. Seems the least I
can do. My residency changed my art. It changed me.
Imagine what a residency at Dan's Cabin might do for you, especially
during these troubled and troubling times.
Here's where you'll be, who you'll meet and what to expect:
Then the friends and Dan's Cabin:
Finally, let's revisit Nonesuch,
just down the road from where you'll stay, if selected.
I say be brave and go for it. The times call for no less.
