Artists in Residency

Chandler Center for the Arts has a robust initiative to bring artists and the community closer together with the engagement of its Artists in Residence. Chandler Center for the Arts provides resources, space, time, and audience to a guest artist to work on their art for a period of time. Our artists in residence have partnered with Chandler Unified School District and the Greater Chandler community to learn from one another and exchange ideas to further the artist's work.
