Our hearts are full after our first Artists in Residence completed their 2 week immersion at Tin Camp Studios at THE Hungry Spirit.
What an amazing adventure they have had.
Vartini...mark their names now, for when they hit the big time, you'll be able to say - we remember when...!
Congratulations Megan and Phil and thank you!
