Tessa Kelly & Chris Parkinson

Tessa Kelly & Chris Parkinson are husband-and-wife architects and the founders of The Mastheads Writers’ Residency Program. The Mastheads hosted five writers from around the country in July. They collaborated with builders, engineers, poets, artists, and others to make this project possible, and plans are to continue the residency annually. The couple also spearheaded another community project by creating a special curriculum for the third-grade class at Morningside Elementary School that will continue to expand.
