addo’s 207 artist guests in 2015 included a journalist writing a family memoir of the Soviet Union; a visual artist producing a mixed media work on climate change; and a television screenwriter and director. With funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, we supported five collaborative teams working across disciplines. Yaddo Yis selective but egalitarian, proud of the fact that a majority of our artists are first-time guests who bring vigor and a fresh perspective to our program.

12 YADDO ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Summer Benefit

Guests at our 2015 Summer Benefit were entertained by Yaddo composer and singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane, who performed songs from The Ambassador, hailed by Rolling Stone as one of 2014’s “very best albums.”

The sold-out event was a huge success, raising $146,632. Thanks to the generosity of the Capital Region community and the 1 hard work of the members of the volunteer committees, Yaddo was able to devote more than ninety percent of the proceeds directly to the artist residency program.

e strengthened our community ties in several ways this past year, launching speaker series in Wboth Saratoga Springs and Washington, DC. The partnerships – with Northshire Bookstore and NYU DC, respectively – are designed to expand access to our artists and their ideas while staying true to our mission of retreat. In Saratoga, Will Hermes, senior critic at Rolling Stone, talked with journalist Thomas Dimopoulos about his life in music writing and his research for a biography of Lou Reed, while in Washington, internationally acclaimed writer Andrew Solomon gave a preview of his 2016 book Far and Away: Reporting from the Brink of Change: Seven Continents, Twenty-Five Years, in conversation with Yaddo president Elaina Richardson. We also established a stronger presence on the West Coast, anchored by supporters and alumni in San Francisco. In October, friends of Yaddo attended the West Coast premiere of Board acting as stewards of our historic buildings.
