FYSM Artist-in-Residence Program

The Free Your Soul & Mind Artist-In-Residence Program’s mission is provide a creative space for self-identified and aspiring poets to curate and publish their work. Over the course of the year, the artist or artists-in-residence (AIR) receive one-on-one virtual coaching and mentoring via our partner, Empower Your Power. Literary coach and seasoned poet, Kezia, provides AIRs with the tools they need to produce their first series of poems and/or their first chapbook. AIRs also serve as editors and contributors to our annual literary Zine. We are happy to announce our 2020-2021 Artists-In-Residence are Jo (Foderinham) Brown and Nathan Moore. You can experience their work in our inaugural Zine, “Chosen Family.”
