Rooted in process, experimentation, and artistic growth, Hi-ARTS residency programs provide financial support, dedicated time and space, and opportunities for public engagement.

Past resident artists include Andrea Ambam, Jay St. Flono, Liza Jessie Peterson, Yang Sun & Poets, Cheri L. Stokes, The Illustrious Blacks, Brian Quijada & Nygel D. Robinson, Leah Tubbs, Najee Omar, Curtis Turney, Charlene Jean, Friday Lynton, and many more.
