Conversations from the Barn
Everwood Farmstead Foundation is an arts non-profit located on a century-old farm in the bucolic Driftless Zone of Western Wisconsin. We host inspiring spaces for artists to perform (Artist Series), teach (Artist Workshops) and work (Artist Retreat) in a natural environment. We focus on the artists' experience because we know when they are happy, healthy and nurtured, it is good for everyone. Every day, their job is to find fresh language for the human experience. As a result, healing and restoration is possible for our communities.
In this podcast, we host brief and informal conversations with artists that visit our farm. They'll share about their experiences at Everwood, the projects that are exciting them, and the insights they're gaining along the way.
