Originating in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio, The Boyle Residence is an umbrella term for friends and family who were pulled together, by fate, to provide art, in a variety of forms, to Ohio and beyond. In the early 1990s, Karen Boyle, a widowed English Professor, gifted a drum set and camcorder to her sons for Christmas. From there, the family magnetized to anyone within a 50-mile radius who was willing to be creative with them. As a result, today, they are privileged to be part of an ever-growing network of music, paintings, blogs, films, crafts, food, literature, and more. This is your hub for everything Boyle and beyond. If you’ve ever become acquainted with a branch of our tree, this site is the trunk. If you’re new to the game, welcome. Our mission is to spread joy through MAKESHIFT ARTIST collectives; join us in our celebration OF local creativity. Thank you for your support!
