While in Residence
In residence, Annunziato will focus on exploring new techniques to create a body of work inspired by discarded objects found within the town of Breckenridge. She will work with Summit County High School to provide a fresh insight on creative practices in their art classroom. In addition, she will collaborate with the local community by holding workshops that challenge participants to repurpose old materials or objects into art.
Want to Help JENNA IN HER CREATIVE JOURNEY?
Jenna Annunziato, our current artist-in-residence, is inviting the community to contribute to her creative process!
She’s looking for knick-knacks, figurines (broken or whole), and shiny objects to incorporate into her work. Jenna has a special interest in porcelain items, particularly cherubs, horses, and swans, but is open to all kinds of contributions.
Donation Drop-Off: Bring your items to Jenna’s Studio Hours at the Robert Whyte House (Fridays and Saturdays, 2-5PM) or drop them off at Old Masonic Hall during business hours.
