Brucemore is excited to announce our event and tour schedule for 2024! This will include the return of beloved programs, along with the introduction of new events, that will give you the chance to connect with friends, enjoy the outdoors, relax under the stars, and create summer memories.
Artisan Studio Series
Launched in October 2019, the Artisan Studio was inspired by the families who lived at Brucemore and their strong tradition of supporting the arts in their community. The Artisan Studio series brings emerging artists to Brucemore to develop their talents with Artisan-in-Residence Gerard Estella. The 2024 program will expand upon the Studio’s core crafts of music and songwriting by fostering talent from artists in other disciplines.
The artists selected for the 2024 cohort will be announced in February.
Live from the Artisan Studio
New for 2024, Live from the Artisan Studio will look beyond the art to get to know the artist. This digital series will invite artists to Brucemore for an interview, recorded in front of a live studio audience. Each conversation will focus on a specific project or aspect of the artists’ career. The recordings of these interviews will be shared online through Brucemore’s social media channels.
Stay tuned for more information about the Live from the Artisan Studio guest artists and schedule.
