Pierce County Artist in Residence Program

Note: The Artist in Residence Program has been suspended due to budget cuts.

The Artist In Residence Program places professional artists in local public schools for two to six-week projects. Artists work directly with students, instruct teachers on the integration of art into the curriculum, and the project culminates with a community outreach event.
