The Verona Public Library is now accepting applications for its 2025 Artist-in-Residence Program, offering local artists a unique opportunity to engage with the community. The program includes two residency periods: Spring (April 28–June 6) and Fall (October 10–November 24). Applications for the Spring residency opened on January 24 and are due by February 24.

Selected artists will receive a stipend of $2,500 and up to $500 for art supplies. During the six-week residency, artists are expected to spend at least six hours per week in the library's designated art space, creating and sharing their work with patrons. Additionally, artists will plan and host a minimum of three public events or activities, such as workshops or demonstrations, to engage the community in the creative process.

Interested individuals aged 18 and over are encouraged to apply. For more information on application requirements and to submit an application, please visit the Verona Public Library's Artist-in-Residence Program page.
