artists in residence
An artist in residence is a program that invites an artist to work in a specific environment, such as a school, community center, or organization, for a set period. During this time, the artist creates new work, collaborates with others, and often engages with the community through workshops or public events. The aim is to provide the artist with space and resources to develop their craft while allowing the community to experience and participate in the arts. This exchange enriches both the artist’s practice and the community’s cultural life.

The goal is to foster artistic innovation and community engagement.
