The Cultural Connections Artist-in-Residence 2022–2023
The Cultural Connections Artist-in-Residence program aims to bring diversity, in all its forms, to the JMU campus and to provide opportunities for students to engage with artists from multiple disciplines. CCAiR was established in 2007–2008 as a collaboration between the Office of Diversity and the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Diversity and the College of Visual and Performing Arts Council on Diversity encourage proposals that will enhance the diversity of thought, perspective, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status and background, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural experiences.
