Program Description

ProjectArt’s resident artists are socially-minded contemporary artists chosen by a jury of regional curators and art world professionals. Resident artists participate in a 9-month residency from September through June in tandem with the academic school year. Each selected artist is assigned to one of ProjectArt’s partner public libraries where they teach and mentor youth. Artists also create and display new work in the library, collaborating with library staff and connecting with the community at large. 3 hours are allocated to teaching per week. We encourage each resident artist to spend up to 10 hours a week in the library, developing artwork inspired by the community. Resident artists teach students of varying age groups (4-7, 8-12-13-18) three classes per week using a curriculum of their design. Artists create their academic year-long curriculum at the beginning of the residency and work with ProjectArt staff on its development.
