Share Your Story with BAC Artist-in-Residence Kat Sherrell
Do you have a story to tell about a place? Do you have experience with mining, engineering, infrastructure building, or rural environments? Have a conversation with BAC Artist-in-Residence Kat Sherrell!
Kat is creating a song cycle called MINE which looks at stories from the rural-urban divide through a lens of mining. During her two-week residency at Bethany Arts Community, Kat is hoping to have conversations with:
- Folks who have experience with mining or infrastructure building
- Engineers who can offer information and opinions about new technologies and how they’re made and used
- Folks who have lived in both rural and urban places and would like to share their experiences of culture shifting between the two
Conversations will take place between October 21 – November 4, 2024. To share your story and have a conversation with Kat, click the button below:

This event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather, engage, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner
