Thanks to the generosity of Fleur Bresler, the James Renwick Alliance hosted Brendan Barrett for the Distinguished Artist Series Mentorship Program with Annie Evelyn, March 7-8.

As a part of the weekend, Brendan presented a Coffee & Conversation presentation about his finely designed wooden creations. It was here that he explained how he often works with rocks, which he calls, "the most perfectly designed object." To learn more about his work, visit his website at:

​
"The weekend as a whole was inspirational, grounding, reaffirming, and confidence building." said scholarship awardee Brendan Barrett "I feel like Annie Evelyn (2020 DAS Artist) and others at the JRA will remain important contacts and mentors. I felt 'legitimate,' like 'wow maybe I am a craft artist after all.' It was great to interact with the DC craft community and meet people who make, love, and buy the type of work I make. Gives me good perspective."
