The Kirk Newman Art School’s Post-Baccalaureate Program is designed for recent fine arts graduates seeking to grow and strengthen their creative practice in a supportive community with access to professional studio facilities. The culmination of the 2025–2026 resident artists’ work will be on display in the KNAS commons from May 1–31. This unique group exhibition will feature new works in Ceramics, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and Sculpture from our seven residents.

The opening reception for this exhibition will coincide with Art Hop on Friday, May 1, from 5–8pm. Join us in celebrating the talents of these amazing emerging artists! Learn more about each Resident and their art making journey on our YouTube Virtual ArtBreak series.

The Residency application deadline for 2026–2027 is May 15, 2026.
