Singer/songwriter Lisa McCormick, of Brattleboro, VT, is one of five artists selected to attend a four-week artist residency in Florida, for the month of February.
McCormick will be dedicating the residency time to composing new original songs for her upcoming CD and concerts.
The Escape-to-Create artists are selected from an international pool of applicants, following a peer review selection process. Since 1993, Escape to Create’s multi-disciplinary residency offers artists the gift of time and space from a community engaged in furthering artistic expression.
Escape-to-Create is approaching its 22nd year of operation in Seaside, Florida, known throughout the world as the birthplace of the New Urbanism movement. Seaside is also where the Jim Carrey movie, “The Truman Show” was filmed.
Housed in private cottages located throughout the picturesque beach community of Seaside, FL, artists enjoy uninterrupted time fully immersed in their individual projects balanced with opportunities for collaboration in an intimate group setting. Artists are also required to perform community service.
“I am thrilled to have been selected for this awesome opportunity, and can’t wait to get started!”, McCormick says. “I also can’t wait to bring these brand new songs back home and share them with everyone.”
McCormick is financing the residency with a crowd-sourcing campaign via Indigogo.com. Supporters can make donations of any amount, and receive personalized thank-you premiums in return.
