Artist Residency: Josiah Golson

Local visual artist Josiah Golson is kicking off our 2017 artist residency series! Josiah will work in the art studio on most Tuesdays and Thursdays in July from noon to 2 p.m. Each week will focus on different artists that inspire Josiah’s art.

“We are excited to present this new level of artist instruction to our guests which will allow children and adults the chance to meet a professional artist, observe as the artist demonstrates his craft and work directly with the artist to create a unique art form,” said Liza Blair, arts manager at Creative Discovery Museum.

All activities are included with Museum admission. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn from and create alongside Josiah Golson!

The residency is part of an Equity in the Arts program funded through ArtsBuild and the Benwood Foundation. ArtsLive receives support from Tennessee Arts Commission, ArtsBuild and Benwood Foundation.
