About the Pasadena City College Artist in Residency Program
The PCC Artist in Residence (AiR) program is an over 35 year-old program that has brought world class artists to PCC to work with our students and to create new work for exhibition. Artists have included William Wegman, Wayne Thiebaud, Faith Ringgold, Alison Saar, and Tim Hawkinson. Continuing this annual program, the Galleries at PCC has currently expanded the program to include two annual AiR to represent the broad media of the Visual Arts and Media Studies curriculum and to reach our diverse student body by addressing the issues of our time. The Artist in Residence program for the Galleries at PCC is made possible by funding from the Pasadena Art Alliance.
