We kicked off the summer residency season with the arrival of two visiting artists, and a slide talk by two young visiting artists. Nate, from Chicago, and Lulu, from Los Angles, presented slides of their drawings, paintings, and sculpture to a receptive and chatty audience. At ages 18 and 16, they were both showing their work to an audience for the first time, and we were all impressed by their talent and insight. After the champagne reception (and sparkling cider for the teens), our newly acquainted resident artists were initiated into Pentwater culture by heading to the beach to watch the sunset over lake Michigan- a real tradition around these parts. Elodie and Mary immediately began to collaborate on knitting a new net for our basketball hoop, and we spent the rest of the night in the studio, knitting, typing, and gathering materials for a fort in the woods.

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
