Artists-in-Residence

Each summer, one or two ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ students receive Kent Island fellowships to connect science, climate change, and conservation to other ways humans experience the world—through the visual arts, creative writing, music, and dance.

The student artists live alongside the scientists and professional artists-in-residence at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Scientific Station, seeking inspiration from the work of those around them and from living in a beautiful and wild spot. 

The writing and art that comes out of students' stays at the station also serves as another way to communicate the island science to the public.
