Kinhouse Art Gallery and Residency, founded by artists Kaylan Buteyn and Dana Caldera, has opened a new artist residency space in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The residency offers one-week stays in a colorful three-bedroom house with two studio spaces, providing a solitary and focused experience for visiting artists. The gallery and studio spaces are also part of the business, located in the 46808 area.
This matters because Indiana has very few artist residencies, making Kinhouse Art a unique resource for artists in the state. The week-long model is more accessible for artists with family or other commitments, allowing them to step away from daily life and dedicate time to their practice. By filling a gap in the local arts infrastructure, Kinhouse Art supports the growth of the regional creative community.
