MEET THE MARCH 2023 ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE

INGRID KELLER
Visual Art Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Ingrid discovered her love of art early in childhood. Exploring the desert, she was drawn to the intricacies and patterns of life. An exploration which inspired her to replicate those observations with drawing and painting. Today, her artwork is still deeply inspired by nature, but has also grown into an expression of the human experience with sentimental surrealism. Her studies in Biology and Art History come together to connect our place with nature, history and emotion, finding meaning through art. She hopes to provide a window to perceive life through a creative and curious perspective. www.ingridkeller.art/ |

CHAOS THEATER
Experimental Theater Chaos Theatre develops site specific, interactive theatrical experiences for communities who might not otherwise have access to this dynamic, imaginative, communal art form. We want anybody and everybody to be able to experience theatre, either as a maker or an observer. For the SAACA Catalyst Residency, our aim is to spark imaginative performative moments around the idea of LOVE in a place where love is sold on store shelves, especially during the month of February. |

MALCOLM NICOLL
Glass "My inspiration in creating art is not only to document my evolution as an artist but more importantly to attempt to make all aspects of life a work of art; to feel and activate our divine gift for creating and expanding beauty in an often times harsh and crude world. Not strictly in the virtual arts, but in all concepts and ideas." - Malcolm Nicoll |
