Corrine Yonce Brings Housing Advocacy to Two Coats of Paint Residency
Corrine Yonce, an artist from Vermont and the recipient of the Diane Gabriel Visual Artist Award for 2025 from Burlington City Arts, will serve as the Two Coats of Paint Resident Artist from July 19 to 24, 2026, in Long Island City, NY. Currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Middlebury College, Yonce's installations merge canvases with everyday items such as curtains, shelves, and toys, addressing the fragile reality of housing insecurity. Their art often features torn photographs, keepsakes, and audio interviews. A significant piece, "I'm Sorry If This Isn't What You Needed, But I'm Giving It Anyways (Unsolicited Advice)," was showcased at a kiosk in a Shelburne, Vermont, parking lot. An open studio is scheduled for July 22, from 5 to 7 pm, with future projects including "Feeding Champlain Valley" in Sheldon, Vermont, and participation in Art Hop Open Studios from September 11 to 13, 2026.
