Dawn Farm

Dawn Farm Downtown (DFD) is in the middle of a basement remodel, which means we can't use our on-site washers and dryers.

Instead, we're practicing life skills in a different way and visiting our local laundromat!

We're grateful to live in a community with resources to meet our needs.

A pipe burst in the ceiling in one of our staff offices at the main Farm location last Sunday night and we had a significant flood.

This week was a challenge, but we were up for it and we remain grateful!

1. All of our clients and staff were safe
2. Most of the house was wet, but the dorms remained DRY
3. We have a Community Barn, so were able to continue treatment programming during the day in the Barn with minimal interruption
4. So many staff (and Paul Davis Restoration) worked together to get things cleaned up quickly and keep the Farm running as smoothly as possible
5. Industrial strength fans and dehumidifiers!

We're grateful to Unison Chamber Music Collective for their monthly concerts in the Community Barn. It's always a beautiful experience!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming The Myriad Project ( ) for a performance at Dawn Farm!

The Myriad Project is a genre-defying electro-acoustic chamber ensemble based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Defined by a passion for community and collaboration, the ensemble (Emily Brownlee, oboe; Donald Schweikert, bassoon; and Daniel Fecteau, electric violin and loop station) curates their repertoire and performance experience in a way that emphasizes authenticity, creativity, and audience engagement.

The Myriad Project began as the result of close friendship and a shared excitement for new music. All three members of the ensemble began graduate studies at the University of Michigan together and quickly became friends, first coming together in February 2024 to read a draft of a piece Daniel wrote for the trio.

In their first season (2024-2025), The Myriad Project developed a full concert program consisting of five brand new works. Highlights of their season included performing at the 2025 International Double Reed Society conference, receiving the Michigan Prize and an honorable mention at the 2025 Briggs Chamber Music Competition, and completing their first interdisciplinary collaboration, a series of animations they commissioned to accompany their arrangement of Žilvanis Smalys’ Lyric Suite.

In addition to commissioning new works, The Myriad Project also creates their own music. Their first original work, Moonstone, was written for the trio in 2024 by Daniel Fecteau and remains their most popular and frequently performed work. During the ensemble’s residency at the 2025 Honeywell Arts Academy, they collectively workshopped and completed a second work of Fecteau’s, entitled Surfacing. Both pieces will be regularly programmed on The Myriad Project’s 2025/2026 concert season.

Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with the audience!!! 💜🎶

We're very grateful to have received a donation that allowed to us make some improvements to the basement/lower level at the main Farm location. New floors, lighting, art supplies, and organization!
✨✨
We have designated space for art, groups, recreation, exercise, and more. We think it looks pretty great! What are you grateful for today?
