“To create one's own world takes courage.” 

GEORGIA O'KEEFE 



Art has always been at the heart of the Vose brand.  Our founder and Creative Director, Sara Roitman, grew up immersed in the world of fine art, surrounded by her family’s gallery and design store.  Our passion for art and creative expression is woven into the fabric of our spaces, where original and vintage paintings, photography, and sculpture play a central role in our designs.

Through our Artist Residency program, we invite creatives of all mediums to experience the natural beauty of Lake Michigan and our surrounding countryside—a setting that offers both inspiration and the freedom to create.   Our goal is to provide artists with the physical and mental space to explore, reflect, and grow, all while fostering creativity in an environment of serenity and beauty.


ARTIST RESIDENCY

Megan Parker of Moving Alters is our Spring 2025 Vose artist in residence.  A contemporary fine artist, Megan is highly regarded for her expertise in creating serene works of art inspired by organic textures, shifting landscapes, and natural elements. Among her many inspirations, Megan recently has focused on the transformative, rhythmic nature of water. Her work explores how water can reflect, obscure, and reshape both the physical world and our inner landscapes. The beauty and power of Lake Michigan is obviously a central part of Vose's spaces and we cannot wait to see how Megan incorporates the lake into her work and creative process.

Originally from Wisconsin, Megan is currently based in Austin, TX. Her work has been featured in numerous solo and groups shows, including in Austin, TX and Round Top, TX.

Follow us on Instagram to see Megan's process, reflections, and creations in the weeks ahead.

What types of artists are INVITED?

We welcome artists of all mediums - painters, sculptors, poets, photographers, illustrators, watercolorists, writers, textile designers, and many more. 

WHAT is PROVIDED?

We provide five (5) nights of private accommodation at the Asher to live and work during your stay (i.e., you will not share the space with others).  Artists are responsible for bringing their own materials and food as well as cleaning up any materials upon their departure.  You are also responsible for all travel costs. 

This time is entirely yours and the goal is to foster artists' creative process in a setting free from the day-to-day distractions of our regular lives.   To capitalize on this, we kindly limit guests to a maximum of one guest during your stay.    You are also welcome to bring your dog if you like! 

We do not place any requirements on artists in terms of donating work, sales, or mandatory programming.   We look forward to showcasing Vose artists on our social media and website - always with credit, of course, and incorporating Vose artists' work in our spaces whenever possible.
