In this hands-on workshop hosted by Ferene, participants will create book-themed art that reflects both their inner and outer selves. Through a guided creative process, attendees will craft visual and written pieces that tell their personal stories using a variety of artistic materials.

This part of the residency invites self-exploration and shared reflection, encouraging participants to consider how their personal narratives are shaped by—and connected to—the stories of others.

More About March Artist Residency
Join us at South Burlington Public Library for a month-long artist residency inviting people of all backgrounds into story and connection. In Just Like a Book, More Than My Cover, Ferene Paris creates space for a multi-generational dialogue around self-identity, outward appearance, and the stories we carry. Come for a performance, a workshop, a story slam—or experience the full series. Ages 16+.

All events take place in the Library Community Room on the second floor—a cozy space that feels like living room vibes meets coffee shop meets open mic.
