Fine Arts Work Center

Fine Arts Work Center Review

A nonprofit organization founded in 1968, the FAWC sponsors 10 writers and 10 artists from October through May each year, providing them with a place to live and work. A summer program has open-enrollment workshops in both writing and the visual arts. The buildings in the complex around the center were formerly Day's Lumber Yard Studios, built above a lumberyard by a patron of the arts to provide poor artists with cheap accommodations. Robert Motherwell, Hans Hoffmann, and Helen Frankenthaler have been among the studios' roster of residents over the years.
