An exploration of inspiration through Sound, movement, drawing and craft
Founded in 2017 by Erik Warner, the Uncommon Art Residency has blossomed into a sanctuary for creative minds, inviting artists from across the nation to explore, collaborate, and ignite new ideas. Initially housed at the Sound View Greenport, a hotel on Long Island, New York, the residency expanded in 2020 to the Anvil Hotel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. These creative havens foster a vibrant ecosystem where community, collaboration, and connection are at the heart of the experience.
The residency program encourages artistic expression in all forms, from performances and open working sessions to exhibitions and lectures. Each artist is invited to share their work and process with the public, creating a dynamic dialogue between artist and community. Past residents have hosted classes, performances, and unique community experiences, enriching both their art and the lives of those they touch.
For the past seven years, the residency has welcomed a diverse array of contemporary artists, musicians, composers, playwrights, and craftsmen. Through immersive exploration of their crafts and the unique influence of their surroundings, residents have birthed fresh perspectives and transformative work. The merging of location, community, and creativity has resulted in a dynamic exchange that shapes both the artists and the locales they engage with.
In Jackson Hole, Travis Walker, the Director of the Uncommon Art Residency, orchestrates this inspiring program with the support of local partners, including the Art Association of Jackson Hole & the Center For The Arts. A full-time artist and founder of Teton ArtLab, Travis ensures that the residency thrives within the rich cultural fabric of the region. Artists are invited to work in the vibrant studios of the Art Association’s Center for the Arts, where the rugged landscape and creative spirit of Jackson Hole inspire groundbreaking new works.
The Uncommon Art Exhibit presents work from diverse artists that have participated in the Uncommon Art Residency in Jackson and New York. Art work available for purchase until October 29. The Uncommon Art Exhibit is presented by the Center in partnership with Teton Art Lab with support provided by Sound View Greenport and Anvil Hotel.
