IRS990/Desc0Our efforts in 2021 were split between welcoming residents for 2-week writing residencies and completing a major renovation of our facility. We condensed our usual residency sessions for the year into an extended 5-month spring session, hosting 21 writers, artists and activists. 12 residents were awarded fellowships and 9 residents were diverse in race, age and/or gender. We also hosted 3 DIY Retreats, serving 10 additional alums/writers. Each session, residents were interviewed on KWMRs Mesa Refuge Conversations biweekly radio show. Our From the Gathering Room monthly online programs aimed at getting our mission out to a broad, general public in time when people were not yet gathering. For the remainder of the year our facility was closed for an extensive repair project due to water damage.
