Forest Hills Fine Arts Center
The Forest Hills Fine Art Center Artist-in-Residence program offers selected local and regional artists a unique opportunity to share their work and talent with students and art-lovers in the Forest Hills area through short term residencies. Each residency is launched with a public reception to introduce the artist to the community and unveil an exhibition of their work in the Center gallery. During the period of “in residence,” each artist will enjoy use of the resources of the Fine Arts Center studio and provide a variety of interactive presentations and demonstrations for Forest Hills students and/or the community. Each year, a committee of art educators, local artists and community members identify potential artists in a variety of media and invite them to apply to the program.
Six residencies are awarded annually and presented to the community as a series. Selections are made based on the art form and the artist’s scope of experience, body of work and demonstrated ability to work effectively with community members and students.
In addition to the incredible resident exhibits, the Fine Arts Center hosts an annual student exhibit, staff exhibit and several non-resident exhibits or traveling exhibitions.
The Fine Arts Center’s exhibits are generously sponsored by Centennial Securities, Inc. Refreshments are provided by D&W. Floral arrangements are provided by Day Lily Floral & Gifts. Printing provided by Falcon Printing.
