From time to time we have donations or funding to cover a two-week Artist-in-Residency program, where a guest artist can lead a workshop in a new medium. Please look at our website and see the amazing art our students have created over the years! We see the Artist-in-Residency workshop as a way for our students to develop a new skill and to connect with the broader arts community, as well as paying working artists a living wage for their teaching time.
If you have any questions about the Artist in Residency opportunity, please contact:
