COLLIDER, the South Central Regional Library’s artist-in-residence program, connects the public with art and
the people who create it. Special studio space within the Library allows artists to create on-site. Patrons are
encouraged to drop in, interact, and learn about different artistic processes, and participate in special
workshops for the public.
The next round of artist applications (for January-June 2021 residencies) will open in September 2020.
Generous funding from Councilwoman Madonna Flood makes the COLLIDER Artist-In-Residence program
possible.
