The Red Barn Studio Museum is excited to welcome musicians, writers, and visual artists Joey Lemon and Georgia Sutton from Wichita, Kansas, as artists-in-residence from May 23 – June 8, 2026.
Joey and Georgia are multidisciplinary artists who share a love of music and visual arts. They can be found working separately or in collaboration on drawings, paintings, and music. Joey’s creative endeavors began when he was a teenager, when he wrote poetry, played in bands, and took visual arts classes throughout high school and college. Joey toured with his band extensively after college, and today continues creating artwork through music, poetry, and painting or drawing. Georgia has over 20 years of experience with showing and selling paintings, prints, and jewelry in the Wichita area and online through her Etsy shop. Georgia also has played the piano throughout her life. Both artists are excited to work in the Red Barn studio and be inspired by the space and Lester Raymer’s artworks. During their stay at the Red Barn, Joey and Georgia will be the featured artists for the Artists’ Studio Open House event on May 23, 10am-2pm.
Visitors to the Red Barn can expect to see a variety of tools and materials – notebooks, typewriters, cassette recorders, linoleum blocks, pencils, paper, paint, and wood. These materials will be used for the projects that the artists will work on together and separately. Joey plans to work on poetry, drawing, and painting, and Georgia will focus on creating linocut prints, drawings, and paintings. They also plan to work on a collaborative musical project.
