Residencies and Master Classes
Enriching Experiences.
Community members are invited to engage with professional artists through intimate, interactive experiences such as workshops, in-school visits, panel discussions, and lecture- demonstrations. These exchanges foster mutual learning, encourage dialogue, and strengthen the connection between artists and the community – creating space for inspiration, shared stories, and deeper understanding through the arts.
Below are the highlights for the 25-26 Season.
