## Caption

At Buffalo Prescott, it’s not unusual to find artists creating alongside their children, Hot Wheels zooming around the studio, or kids running around the backyard.⁠
⁠
Earlier this year, founder Samara Furlong brought her vision of an artist residency for parents to life.⁠
⁠
The curatorial researcher moved back to Detroit from New York during the pandemic, got married, had a daughter, and quickly rejoined the local art scene. She curated a female-led performance and group exhibition called Divine Wisdom in February, and three of the artists from that show are now part of Buffalo Prescott’s first cohort of residents.⁠
⁠
Named after the street corners it was born on, Buffalo Prescott is more than just an artist residency. It’s also a nonprofit artist incubator with a mission to “nurture the growth of Detroit's contemporary art ecosystem.” Furlong’s goals include promoting work-life balance, making art accessible to the community, and providing a supportive space for artists with kids — though the spot is not just for parents.⁠
⁠
To publicly launch Buffalo Prescott, Furlong is hosting a pancake brunch on Saturday, Sept. 14 as part of Detroit Month of Design.⁠
