Weir Farm Names Six Artists For 2025 Residency Program

RIDGEFIELD, CT — Weir Farm National Historical Park has selected six artists for its 2025 Artist-in-Residence program, continuing a tradition of fostering contemporary art at the historic site.

Each of the selected artists will participate in a public Open Studio session at the park, offering visitors the chance to engage with their work. The events are scheduled monthly from May through October:

• Aspasia Anos – May 24
• Charis Carmichael Braun – June 21
• Beth Stinson – July 26
• Carol Fabricatore – August 23
• Steven Bradbury – September 20
• Lori Larusso – October 25

All sessions will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The program, supported by the Friends of Weir Farm NHP and a grant from Connecticut-based travel company Tauck, received 74 applications this year. A panel of three jurors—Kimberly Henrikson, Cybele Maylone, and Stephen Henderson—selected the artists based on submissions in various visual art forms.

Weir Farm has hosted more than 250 artists since the residency began. The initiative seeks to preserve the creative legacy of Julian Alden Weir by supporting experimental and thought-provoking visual art on-site.

Applications for the 2026 residency program will open on Nov. 1.
