CoCo Ree Lemery & Caroline Mae Heidenreich

Atelier Day... In 2016, Paula Wallace launched and endowed a unique artist in residency for SCAD alumni: the Alumni Atelier Ambassadorship. Every quarter, alumni are eligible to submit proposals for patronage and, if chosen, receive the resources and support to bring it to life. The program is a glowing reminder of SCAD's commitment and encouragement for its alumni. Atelier projects have helped alumni launch new careers, dive into unexplored mediums, and dedicate themselves entirely to creative initiatives. During the winter 2021 academic quarter, the Atelier program operated remotely with two alumni participating from California: fashion designer Caroline Mae Heidenreich and furniture designer CoCo Ree Lemery. Today on SCADcast, you'll hear from CoCo and Mae as they present their work to Paula Wallace, reflect on the Atelier experience, and describe their careers since graduating.
