About the Artist in Residence (AnR) Program

The AnR Program invites local artists in the Greater Toledo Area to spend the summer at the Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts (CFPA).

The program will start at the beginning of June and end at the beginning of August, and it can be catered to either visual or performing artists.

The artist will have the opportunity to use the studio spaces, instruct workshops or classes, display artwork in the Walter E. Terhune Art Gallery or perform in the CFPA Mainstage Theatre. There is no fee for the program, and in return, we ask that the artist donate one piece of work.
