Nurturing Creativity by Shannon Amidon - Talk and Book Signing
Saturday, May 23rd, 2026
2:00PM - 3:30PM
Free Admission (RSVP on Eventbrite)
Inside the Triton Museum
Artist, writer, and community-builder Shannon Amidon presents an informative talk on her forthcoming book Nurturing Creativity- A Guide to Building Your Artist Residency and Cultivating Creative Community, a practical guide to starting and sustaining an artist residency program and building community.
Drawing directly from her experience founding The Verdancy Project, a multidisciplinary nature-based artist residency in Troutdale, Oregon, Shannon reflects on what it truly takes to build a creative community from the ground up: the courage it requires, the unexpected challenges, and the deep rewards of creating space for other artists to thrive.
Whether you are an artist curious about new ways to support your peers, or simply interested in how creative spaces come to life, this talk offers an accessible and honest look at the process.
A book signing and conversation follow.
This event is free and open to the public (including free parking).
