Artists-in-Residence

About

The Artists in Residence Program brings together artists, teachers, and students. From ceramics and painting to collage and photography, this vital program provides full-day, skill specific training that gives young artists the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in critical thinking and art making. Students who are nominated by their school district teachers have the opportunity to step outside the regular classroom stream to work closely with a professional artist at the Artists for Kids studios.

Past Artists In Residence include Gordon Smith, Kenojuak Ashevak, George Littlechild, Rodney Graham, Gu Xiong, Russna Kaur, Karen Zalamea, and Angela George, amongst many others.
