Seguinland Institute

MEAR is back for year three! So excited to announce our four 2026 artists in residence. Here is @ashleypage.studio joining @margaret_lejeune, @ian_trask, and @sashoonya.

Ashley Page’s interdisciplinary practice brings together textiles, sculpture, and storytelling to explore representation, identity, and intergenerational exchange. A 2022 Amelia Peabody Award for Sculpture recipient, her work has been exhibited at the Portland Museum of Art, Hunterdon Art Museum @hunterdonartmuseum01, and Center for Afrofuturist Studies, among other institutions.

Seguinand Institute is proud to partner with @parsonagegallery to offer an artist residency devoted to exploring ecological issues: Maine Ecology & Art Residency (MEAR).

This residency emerges from the shared vision of our non-profits to promote creativity and dialogue around the themes of ecology, spirituality, and the pursuit of the good life.

The residency provides housing in waterside cottages on Seguinland Institute’s unique campus, occupying a wooded peninsula on the island of Georgetown, Maine.

Four residents spend two weeks at Seguinland in December, and are invited to contribute the following year to a winter group exhibition at The Parsonage devoted to MEAR artists.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we announce more of our amazing artist residents!
