Review for Women's Studio Workshop, Rosendale, NY, USA
I had the most wonderful experience with Women's Studio Workshop as an arts administration intern from 2007-2008. I learned so much about how a non-profit functions, from attending weekly staff meetings, to building on an amazing database of artists and supporters, to sharing a pot-luck lunch every day with whoever was at the workshop that day. There are such amazing women running the workshop and they welcome every artist with a supportive workspace, expert staff and wonderful teaching. In addition, the arts-in-education program brings elementary and high school aged students to experience the printmaking, papermaking and book arts studios with hands-on projects. This place is truly magical and needs recognition for its hard work providing a very special and unique place of art making.
