    One of the beautiful parts of this time at Everwood Farmstead is the way in which you are hosted and cared for as an artist. It starts before your arrival. You receive a thoughtful welcome folder that includes not only logistics, but also a list of things you can expect onsite. Most importantly, however, is an invitation to set an intention by writing it on provided paper and sealing it within the given envelope.
