ENOSBURG, VT.- Cold Hollow Sculpture Park, an outdoor sculpture park and nonprofit arts organization dedicated to fostering connections between contemporary art, nature, and community, is pleased to announce the return of its beloved Artists-in-Residence (AIR) program for the 2026 season, welcoming artists Constance Jaquay and Ed Woodham for immersive residencies that invite creative exploration, public engagement, and dialogue between art and landscape.

As part of the Park’s Among the Sculptures monthly programming series, both residents will offer “AIR in Conversation” presentations: a public talk and workshop experiences designed to give visitors insight into their creative processes. Constance Jaquay’s presentation will take place on July 25, from 2 pm to 3 pm, while Ed Woodham’s presentation will take place on August 29, from 2 pm to 3 pm. Details and registration are available on the Park’s website.

The AIR program is a cornerstone of Cold Hollow Sculpture Park’s mission to foster meaningful connections between artists, audiences, and the natural environment. Each residency provides artists the opportunity to live and work on-site, respond to the Park’s unique setting, and engage directly with visitors through open dialogue and shared creative inquiry.

2026 Artists-in-Residence

Constance Jaquay is a Los Angeles–based experimental movement artist, filmmaker, and physical playwright whose interdisciplinary work positions the body as the primary text of performance. Through a practice that blends dance theatre, performance art, and visual installation, Jaquay explores themes of generational memory, mental health, and the lived experiences of Black womanhood. Her work draws from matrilineal lineage and investigates how histories are carried and transformed within the body, creating performances that center empathy, embodiment, and radical witnessing.

Ed Woodham is a New York City–based conceptual social-absurdist artist, curator, and educator whose interdisciplinary practice spans performance, public art, installation, and social practice. With more than four decades of experience, Woodham’s work engages audiences through humor, collaboration, and participatory frameworks that challenge traditional notions of public space. As the founder of the internationally recognized Art in Odd Places (AiOP) initiative, his work encourages civic engagement and reimagines how communities interact with art in everyday environments.

AIR Presentations: Inviting the Public Into the Process

The AIR Presentations series offers a rare opportunity for visitors to engage directly with artists during the evolution of their work. These sessions are designed to be conversational, exploratory, and participatory, inviting audiences to witness ideas in progress, ask questions, and experience the intersection of artistic practice and place in real time.

Through these presentations, Cold Hollow Sculpture Park continues to expand its role as not only a site for experiencing finished works, but also as a living creative laboratory where art is actively made, shared, and discussed.

“We are honored to support Constance and Ed through the AIR program and to welcome their practices into the life of the park,” said Executive Director Robin Schatell. “Both artists bring a depth of vision and inquiry that will resonate beautifully Among the Sculptures, activating the landscape and David’s work in unexpected ways. It is especially exciting, on a personal level, to see artists I admire so deeply engage with our park and share this experience with our visitors.”
