“The thought certainly crossed my mind: ‘Why should I go to rural Minnesota for a week to write songs?’” Harry Graff Kimball, a New York singer-songwriter, is the first artist of three Citizen-Artists-in-Residence (CAIR) to spend a week in Houston County, exploring the area, and writing songs based on the stories he finds.
The residency program, Crystal Creek Citizen-Artist Residency, based just outside of Houston, Minn., received applications from creatives hailing from all over North America for its inaugural year. Specifically designed for individuals willing to fully immerse themselves in the cultural landscape of Minnesota’s driftless region for one intensive week, each CAIR will ultimately produce work based on their time in the area.
