» Artist in Residence
NCAI’s Artist-in-Residence at The Haven provides much-needed shelter for a Charlottesville artist, in exchange for the artist’s creative involvement with Haven guests. This program hopes to support the already-established creative endeavors among Haven staff, volunteers, and guests, while initiating new, artistic ventures in our community.
By extending the working space of the artist out of the home and into a physical space in the community, New City Arts hopes for new relationships, projects, and provision to be sustained through this coordinated effort of local hospitality.
Patrick Costello
After graduating from UVA with a Studio Art degree, Patrick Costello spent another year in Charlottesville doing a Fellowship with the art department. He then spent some time gallivanting about, during which he worked for a puppet theater and also learned to print textiles.
Although gallivanting is certainly his most developed skill, Patrick returned to Charlottesville in 2010 to co-found C’ville Foodscapes, a worker-owned business that designs, installs, and maintains food producing gardens in and around Charlottesville. He is super excited to be working with NCAI as the Artist-In-Residence at the Haven.
