I learned that the Roswell Artists in Residency (RAiR) Program has been going on for over 50 years, where a few artists (and their families) each year get a home, studio, and “generous” stipend to just focus on their art with no distractions. The result is this amazing 12-gallery contemporary art museum, which remains completely FREE to all. Going through Roswell? This is an excellent pit stop. 🙂
