Artists-In-Residence The Artist-In-Residence Program began as part of the Fine Arts Strategic Plan in 2005. Since its inception, the program has allowed students in all divisions to experience working with professional artists in a variety of media and techniques unique to the artist. As a lasting result of these visits, numerous pieces adorn our campus every day: a seven-foot clay sculpture, four painted murals, six raku sculptures, three oversized watercolor collages, a fused glass wall, six oil-based wood prints,
a clay tile alcove, and the newest addition, a ten-foot outdoor, aluminum sculpture. Other artsists have introduced Brazilian acrylic on canvas techniques, glassblowing demonstrations, and surface design tapestries. The performing arts students have had the opportunity to work directly with a jazz musician in the instrumental program, and the theatre students have worked with two visiting directors.
