“My recent stay at the Sea Breeze Artist Residency on the beautiful Block Island provided me with a guest room of my own and a studio overlooking the ocean. After my morning runs, the delicious breakfast, prepared by the on-site chef, I was able to sink into uninterrupted work. Overall the experience was a perfect residency respite!”

“The Sea Breeze Artist Residency perfectly suited the way I’ve always wanted to work on my writing. The organizers, Andrea Moynier and Sue Muskat, were supportive, generous, and accommodating in all the ways I needed. The setting on Block Island had an old New England majesty that was inspiring. Because it was so quiet, I slept well, waking up early every morning to start writing immediately. And just about the time I was ready to take a break, a delicious breakfast arrived freshly prepared by the residency’s chef. The location made it easy to have periods of walking and thinking when I needed to work through a specific passage or idea. I could easily walk to the town’s Free Library, to Crescent Beach, or to a beautiful lighthouse a little over a mile away. I quickly built a momentum that helped me accomplish my goals—both for word count and quality of the writing. On the last day of the two-person residency, the visual artist and I gave talks at the Free Library. The attendees showed that support for artists extends beyond the residency. Every day I think about and am thankful for the benefits this residency yielded. The uplift and motivation I received during the Sea Breeze Artist Residency continue to resonate. What a gift!”
