Inspired by the lifestyle, surroundings, and spirit of the community, the Village People is a tender yet raw gaze into the lives of residents that live here.

FAQs

How does an urban-dweller artist find herself adjacent to the largest retirement community in the US?

Curiosity, a search for meaning, connection, and of course my family.

What’s involved in being part of the Village People?

An interview to capture the story you’d like to tell, and a portrait shoot. Sometimes these are scheduled separately. 

What happens to my photo?

This is a growing project. Selected photos may be used online and in print. If you participate, you'll be required to sign a model release prior to the shoot.

Will I get to keep any of the pictures?

Why is there a waitlist?
