Artists in Residence | Maine Artist Film Series

Artists in Residence | Maine Artist Film Series Wednesday, September 16th. Reception 5:30pm. Screening 6:30pm. The Waldo Theatre and the Farnsworth Art Museum co-present Artists in Residence , the closing screening of The Waldo's 4th Annual Maine Artist Film Series. In the 1950s, painter Lois Dodd, printmaker Eleanor Magid, and sculptor Louise Kruger bought a building together on New York's Bowery and built lives that put their work first. Director Katie Jacobs spent six years with the three women and their now-grown children, and the result is a clear-eyed, heartfelt portrait of independence, creativity, and the cost and joy of choosing one's own terms. Dodd's work in Midcoast Maine, where she has painted for decades, is central to the film's vision of a life lived for art. Artists in Residence won the Grand Jury Prize at DOC NYC 2025 and was an official selection at the Jackson Hole, Santa Barbara, and Sarasota film festivals. The evening includes a reception with light bites, the screening, and a Q&A with director Katie Jacobs and Jaime DeSimone, Chief Curator of the Farnsworth Art Museum.
