Dear Human Ranch AIR

Dear Human is the visual arts and design collaborative formed by Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell in 2010. Jasna Sokolovic studied architecture at the University of Sarajevo and at the University of Belgrade in former Yugoslavia before immigrating to Canada during the war. She completed her studies in fine arts at Emily Carr University in Vancouver, British Columbia. Noel O’Connell is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Madison and holds an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design. He is a Fulbright scholar in art and architecture and spent six years studying and working in art restoration and ceramics in Thailand and China. Dear Human Ranch AIR is a creative space for artists, guests and friends to play with possibilities and materialize ideas. It is also an invitation to explore the ecosystem of the local meadows, forests and surrounding mountains. They welcome emerging and established artists from all disciplines to develop their projects on the ranch. Residents here can be focused on research and/or production as they so choose. All residencies are self-catered and self- directed. The Ranch gives you the chance to absorb both the natural environment and a creative atmosphere in perfect balance, to be rejuvenated and inspired without the distraction and pressures of daily life.
