Artist-in-Residence
An Artist-in-Residence is a professional artist who is invited to live and work at a specific location, such as a school, museum, or community organization, for a set period. During their residency, they create new work, engage with the public, and often lead workshops or educational programs. This arrangement benefits both the artist, by providing time and space to focus on their craft, and the host organization, by enriching the community through art and creativity. Residencies can vary in duration and expectations, fostering collaboration and innovation in various artistic disciplines.
