The Jaunt: Residency and Print
April 2023

“The Jaunt allows artists to travel the world and find a lasting inspiration that potentially permeates their creative process. The concept is simple: send an artist on a trip to find inspiration. While the artist is on the road, they make their own plans and document their impressions in a travel blog which gives even more insight into the artist’s perspective.

Destination: The Coast Starlight Train

By all accounts a pretty epic train ride up the West Coast of the United States From Los Angeles to Seattle, with special observatory carriages on the train. While the last part from Seattle to Vancouver is technically not part of the Coast Starlight Train, it does perhaps provide the most scenic scenes while driving right by the coast line on its way up to Canada.

“Shared experience is a powerful thing. Through our Two Chairs Art Program, we bring this idea to the forefront of our physical spaces by elevating local artists whose mental health journeys have been integral to the formation of their creative processes.
