Some positive news during this coronavirus crisis to report from Boyd's Station.

Boyd's Station invited NYC based artist Luke Price to take part in February of the soft-launch phase of our future artist residence program at Boyd's Station. The goal was for Price to create work while evaluating best practices for the Boyd's Station artist residence program called PLACE+SPACE to launch fully in 2021.

The overall goal of Boyd's Station and the PLACE+SPACE creative residence is to offer emerging artists housing and studio space at no cost to the artist in order for them to create work which would not be possible due to lack of studio space and high cost of housing in other parts of the country.

Due to the Covid-19 emergency in NYC, Boyd's Station and Luke Price determined a better solution than returning to NYC during this crisis would be for Price to shelter in place and self-quarantine in Boyd, KY while continuing to produce work taking full advantage of the rural surroundings and studio space to continue to stay safe and work while NYC was under a complete coronavirus emergency lockdown.

Luke's sculpture and drawing work envisioned early on arrival in Boyd has grown into an impressive collection that would not have been accomplished without the benefit of time and the ample space afforded at the Boyd's Station Shop Studio space.

We are happy Luke can continue his work in Harrison County while keeping healthy and safe!
