Boyd’s Station - a Kentucky nonprofit 501c(3) organization - promotes a rural and serene environment to “live free and create” through various programs to pursue individual craft without distraction in a supportive community of creators all working to create self-sustaining careers in the arts. Boyd’s Station artist and documentary opportunities are not intended as artist retreats. If anything, the residency opportunities should be characterized as ‘helping hands” to artists unable to fully pursue their vision due in part to basic financial constraints or lack of adequate creative space. The overall hope of Boyd’s Station is to create a “community of collaboration” among diverse artists fostering an environment for creation of real, individual works for the benefit of the artist financially and professionally while bringing the gift of art to the community of Boyd and Harrison County, Kentucky.
