Oct. 7, 2024 – The Cedar Rapids Public Library invites local artists to apply for the library’s Artist-in-Residency Program.  

The selected artist, chosen by a committee, will work with library staff to provide creative art programming for library patrons and have their work exhibited in at least one library gallery space in the fall of 2025. 

Local emerging artists, along with local post-secondary students, are encouraged to apply; the deadline to submit applications is Friday, April 4, 2025. A monthly stipend will be paid for the time and expertise of the selected artist. More information about the program and expectations is available in the application.
