Artists
A working artist joins select tours as part of our rotating artist-in-residence program. While on the trip, each artist participates fully in the learning experience alongside leadership fellows and shows up as a peer to band members with disabilities.
Artists-in-residence join the tour on full scholarship. In return, we invite each artist to create an ode to the shared adventure—in any medium they choose—within 90 days of returning home
For more information on the Artist-in-Residence Program,
