While most of our work takes place in Maine, we are excited to offer workshops in New York City, where we have a strong and growing community of artists. See what we have in store below.

And much more!
This is a rare chance to train in New York City with Shannan Calcutt, a world-renowned artist and teacher. Her workshops have inspired artists from all walks of life to live in the moment, play from the heart, risk being vulnerable, overcome obstacles, and be the kind of collaborator that lifts up everyone in the room. Over the past five years, she has led a number of workshops at Celebration Barn, including Make a Show with Shannan, which has helped over two dozen artists create new shows that have toured throughout North America. Learn more about Calcutt and her remarkable work below. (Learn more about Shannan here.)
“Shannan made everyone feel as though they could do anything they wanted and always come out ahead by creating an amazingly supportive attitude where we all had each other’s back and the egos were in check. Failure became success, we laughed a lot, and everyone was able to bring their best work to class.”
– Hilary Chaplain, performer and teacher
