Hi friends,
As we sit under a blanket of snow here on the farm, we’re daydreaming about the residency's most charming spot: the Gazebo. Straight out of a Jane Austen novel, the Gazebo is a dreamy spot for artists to search for a little inspiration. We certainly understand the appeal; the view over rows of vegetables and fields of sunflowers is unmatched. And as the sunlight begins to give over to twilight each night, the lights hung in the Gazebo begin to twinkle right along side the fireflies. Cabaret artist, Salty Brine, tells it best.

Salty Brine is the creative force behind The Living Record Collection, a series of cabaret performances which weave together iconic, popular albums with literary touchstones. As book writer, he is in collaboration with composer Alan Menken.
We fundamentally believe that artists deserve the time to create new works and to envision new, sustainable futures. SPACE’s mission remains: to create an environment singular in its ability to invigorate artists and innovators and their work.
Help us MAKE SPACE by supporting artists like Salty today
ABOUT THE GAZEBO
An open-air structure directly adjacent to one of Ryder Farm’s growing fields, the gazebo is a little further away from the hustle and bustle of the main SPACE campus allowing a quiet place to concentrate and contemplate. Equipped with cushioned wicker furniture and a view of the south growing fields, artists have been known to retreat to the Gazebo and get lost in their work for hours.
