Reading Residency
We occasionally offer a reading residency in the artist in residence apartment directly above the gallery in Echo Park. Residents are chosen at random from a pool of interested potential readers drawn from our members or nominated by our members.
Upon selection residents email us a selection of books they would like to read during their residency. We provide the books, which will then become a part of the apartment’s library after the resident departs.
Available dates for May & April 2012:
Wednesday, April 25th through Monday April 30th.
Wednesday, May 2nd through Monday May 7th.
Wednesday May 9th through Monday May 14th
