Afternoon with AIR Mo Costello

The Lyndon House Arts Center is pleased to announce the fall Artist in Residence (AIR), photographer Mo Costello. 

This year will be the third AIR program providing a working artist the opportunity and studio space to dive in and develop a large scale project or full body of work. Previous Artists in Residence have been Brian Hitselberger, David Hale, and Zane Cochran.

Costello will be working in the photography studio for the months of October and November.  Please stay tuned for the date and time for the AIR Open Studio Talk.
