For artists-in-residence at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center, five weeks goes by fast too fast, almost.
“There’s not enough time at the end to do everything I wanted to do,” said filmmaker and photographer Jayme Gershen.
Gershen is one of 14 Miami-based artists participating in the 2021 Oolite Arts Home and Away residency at Anderson Ranch, which began Feb. 3 and runs through March 9.
Anderson Ranch provides housing, meals, studio space and access to its wide range of facilities and resources in Snowmass Village; Oolite Arts, an organization that supports visual artists in the Miami-Dade area, sponsors participants and provides an additional $2,500 unrestricted stipend for costs beyond the already-covered accommodations and travel.

He views this time he spends in the ceramics studio as a gift.
“Our time on the planet is actually very short and the older you get, you begin to realize that,” Casebeer said. “‘How much longer do I really have to do this?’ It better be good. Everyday is a special day if you get to be with your art and work in the studio. Not everybody finds that in life.”
