New Collaboration + 1st Dispatch From Senegal!
“As people think and work together, a fabric of shared meaning comes into being.” ― Harrison Owen

Our Newest Collaboration
In late August we installed thirteen paintings at CO in Rhinebeck, NY. CO is a cooperatively-owned and operated co-working center with a mission to serve + bolster their community of change-makers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Cofounded with purpose and designed with intention, the CO brand was a natural fit for a collaboration. The space is incredible and Ryan's work looks like it grew on the rough pine walls.

Thread Residency
As many of you know, Ryan is currently in Senegal in West Africa doing a month-long artist’s residency at Thread through the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. If this info is new to you, feel free to catch the details on our previous blog post here .

Dispatch From Senegal
While at Thread Ryan has limited access to the internet and cell service. Once a week he will be driven about 60 miles to the nearest village to a hotel that welcomes them to use their wifi. Melanie was able to video chat with him for the first time last week. Unbeknownst to him, she grabbed a screenshot while they were talking and here’s what she shared with his friends, family, and fans on Facebook.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll be connecting at least once a week + Melanie will be posting updates on his experience via our social media accounts. If you aren’t already following him, there’s no time like the present. It's another way that they invite you to #BePartOfTheArt !!!
