Resident Artists at Lawrence Arts Center
Advance Your Artistic Career
Artist Residencies
Be a Resident Artist in a Dynamic Community
Art is central to our mission, so we provide three unique, robust resident and visiting artist programs at Lawrence Arts Center. The resident artist program includes a year-round residency that offers housing, stipends, and studio space to visiting artists.
We select two artists each year in a highly competitive juried process. Resident artists enjoy deeply rewarding experiences, including teaching, outreach, and artist interactions, all culminating in an exhibition of new work.
The Visiting Artist Program is a master-class style partnership that hires and features artists and their work in productions, classes, exhibitions and workshops.
Lawrence Arts Center also offers Project-Based Residencies for any duration of time and in any medium or discipline.
Our Resident Artists
Introducing the 2023-2024 Artists-in-Residence!
Every year, two talented artists are selected to create new work while teaching and sharing their expertise with Arts Center students, patrons and the wider community. We can’t wait to see the fresh perspectives these artists bring to Lawrence and the Arts Center through classes, artist talks, workshops and community partnerships!
Anthony Corraro, Printmaking Artist-in-Residence
Anthony is the 2024-25 Printmaking Artist-in-Residence at the Lawrence Arts Center. He graduated with his MFA from Wichita State University in May 2024. By utilizing the repeatable process of printmaking alongside ephemeral materials, the prints he produces are often fragile and immediately ephemeral. Through this process of creation and decay, he seeks to challenge the general notion of art being a static experience.
In 2015, Anthony earned his BFA from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK. During the same year, he discovered a love for printmaking when he interned at Universal Limited Art Editions located in Bay Shore, NY. Afterwards, he spent much of his time in the Midwest working in art centers, working with local artists, and exhibiting work in several group shows.
Gabriel John Poucher, Ceramics Artist-in-Residence
Gabriel John Poucher is a visual artist from northeast Ohio and the 2024-25 Ceramic Artist-in-Residence at the Lawrence Arts Center. His work explores the meaning of “nature” in the Anthropocene through an investigation of ceramic material, and a queer approach to ecological thought. He was a 2023 presenter and exhibitor at the Yuma Arts Symposium, and has exhibited sculptural and functional ceramics nationally. He received his BFA in Crafts with a concentration in glass and ceramic from Kent State University in 2017, and received his MFA in Ceramic Art from Alfred University in 2024.
