Jennifer Bastian (MFA 2008, Art) was recently named a 2024-26 Thurber Park artist-in-residence. Bastian will participate in a two-year-long studio residency in Madison’s east side.
This program utilizes an underused park storage shed to provide artists with rent-free studio space. Bastian is only the third artist to participate in this program and plans to use the space to hold weekly open studio sessions, occasional Grief Circle workshops, and develop her personal art practice.
