THE FOUNDERS
The Barn at Lee was conceived by young artists* with wide-reaching expertise spanning experimental theatre, marketing, graphic design, urban and community planning, and artist curation.
The founders saw an urgent need to provide emerging artists with the precious resource of space and time. They envisioned using this beautiful structure to create an environment in which artists would be nurtured in a residency setting and given the time and space to explore new ideas or develop those already in motion.
*The Barn at Lee is not run by babies. The founders used to be babies.
