10 works you should know
by the Center’s 2024 Artists in Residence
Each year, the Center brings a group of artists (writers, composers, choreographers, filmmakers, and visual artists) to New York. Artists soak in the city’s abundance, have dedicated time to work on new projects, and form a community with other Latter-day Saint artists.
This year’s artists are:
Vanessa Cook, Switzerland, choreography
Dylan Findley, Ohio, music composition
Michelle Nixon, Utah, visual art
Isaac Richards, Utah, literature
Justin Wheatley, Utah, visual art
Darlene Young, Utah, poetry
