Over the last several years, we asked you, our past resident artists and supporters, to share what you love about Watershed and what we could do to improve our facilities, programs, and outreach. You shared wonderful ideas and suggestions through surveys and interviews, and we listened. With your feedback in mind, we completed many renovations and upgrades to campus buildings, overhauled our branding and communication strategies, added a new staff development position, and expanded community education programming. We were able to accomplish these changes because of your support. Your commitment to our mission is producing results—our summer residences are filled to capacity, applications for summer positions and scholarships are more robust than ever, and our community events are enjoying record-breaking attendance. Feedback from artists in 2015 was resoundingly positive—100% of artists-in-residence responding to our survey said they would recommend Watershed to a friend or colleague and would consider participating in another residency.
