Three Women Artists Gather for The Jaunt and Hashimoto Contemporary’s ‘Winter Camp’

Through a unique collaboration between The Jaunt and Hashimoto Contemporary, three women artists spent a week together in the small town of Shelton, south of Olympia National Park.

Hiking, delving into the area’s history, and learning about each other’s work, Bianca Nemelc, Genevieve Cohn, and Seonna Hong participated in the first Winter Camp. Given space and time away from their daily routines, the artists were invited to find inspiration from their new surroundings.

The Jaunt was founded in 2013 by Jeroen Smeets, who curates the project and facilitates travel for artists to destinations worldwide. The program doesn’t assign a specific agenda or brief; the primary goal is to provide new experiences that inspire the creative process.

Cohn, Hong, and Nemelc focused predominantly on painting and works on paper, responding to the act of gathering and the lush, natural environment of the Pacific Northwest.

“Sharing common threads and divergent paths amongst each other’s experiences as artists and women navigating the world, the week-long residency allowed artists from different locales, backgrounds, and generations to create community,” says a statement about the program.

Winter Camp is on view at Hashimoto Contemporary’s San Francisco location through December 21. Find more on the gallery’s website, and you can also explore more from The Jaunt.
