Simone Muck: Artist in Residence

Creativity is alive and well at Sacred Grounds! We are so excited to announce our Artists in Residence for the 2026 season 

Next up: Simone Muck (June 4th-12th)

ARTIST BIO: Simone is an Austrian artist based in the Netherlands, working with Skotography, an analogue photographic practice rooted in early Spiritualist experiments of the mid-19th century. With a scientific background, alongside long-standing spiritual and mediumistic training, her work explores subtle connections between the visible world and the Unseen World.

PROJECT STATEMENT: “During my residency in Lily Dale, I plan to conduct a series of Skotography sittings in small groups, in both indoor and outdoor locations. Sessions will take place either in total darkness or with photographic paper sealed in light-tight containers, allowing gatherings in different environments while remaining true to the original approach of the early pioneers.”
