We welcome artists of all mediums to share their craft with the community while activating library spaces for personal projects. Selected artists will be featured at the library, host public programs for all ages, have scheduled time for personal projects in library studios, performance spaces, quiet focus rooms and/or the Center for Innovation while receiving a stipend. Through this program, the library welcomes artists to share their craft with the community while activating these spaces for personal projects.

Fayetteville Public Library’s Visiting Artist program invites artists and makers of all disciplines from dance, visual art, writing, music, film, fabrication, and more to apply and share their talents with the community. Selected artists are invited to spend a four-month cycle in residence, during which they are featured at the library, lead public programs for all ages, and receive a stipend.
During their residency, artists get scheduled time to pursue personal projects, design and host at least four public events such as workshops, classes, or exhibitions providing opportunities for adults, youth, and teens to engage. For visual artists, exhibitions are considered (subject to approval by the library’s art committee).
This program builds on FPL’s long-standing tradition of nurturing creativity and community connection. By offering space, resources, and exposure, the Visiting Artist program deepens the library’s role not only as a hub for learning and reading, but as a dynamic center for cultural and creative engagement.
