In this week’s cover story we take a look at some of the area artist (and musicians and culinary artists) in residence programs and the events where you can meet the artists — starting with the Currier Museum of Art’s Summer Block Party this Saturday featuring current artist in residence Calder Kamen (pictured above and on the cover with her dog Pixel in a photo courtesy of the Currier).
Also on the cover The Teen Actorsingers return to the stage after a long pandemic break to present the musical comedy Firebringer (page 15). Michael Witthaus talks to Juston McKinney (page 32). And in this week’s food section catch up with two new businesses: the Singing Pond Farm in Hollis and Unwined in Milford.
