We support and celebrate local art and artists through our Artist-in-Residence program. We’re excited to announce our newest Artists-in-Residence! Thanks to the help of our Artist-in-Residence curators, Ally Wilber, Cristian Andersson, and Willow Bayer, we have a diverse group of incoming artists. You can read their bios and see when each artist will be in residence below.

And make sure you check out all of our upcoming Artist-in-Residence events! 

Justin Key

April 1 through June 30, 2026

Justin Key is a photographer from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Immersion in the natural world has long provided a source of understanding for his work, which explores self-discovery through his intimate and intuitive relationship with the landscape. Guided by instinct rather than spectacle, Justin’s photographs reflect a quiet, persistent pursuit of oneness, each photograph a breadcrumb along the path toward self-actualization.

Cat Tervo

July 1 through September 30, 2026

Cat Tervo is a designer and illustrator who likes to get a little silly with it. She’s lived across the Midwest and the South and is currently based in what she affectionately calls “the little apple” (Appleton, Wisconsin).  Cat can be found sipping coffee and drawing her cats (Bug and Bear), in the audience of music and comedy shows, swimming and lifting moderately heavy weights at the YMCA, exploring woodland trails and cemeteries, reading at the beautiful new Appleton Public Library, or at home playing Dungeons & Dragons with her friends.

Diego Sosa

October 1 through December 31, 2026

Diego Sosa’s practice in its entirety follows personal experience as it relates to the world around him. He likes to look at his surrounding environment and produce work that reflects his own connections to its ever-changing state. It’s a representation of how his mind’s eye sees change in the world and how the world’s changing state affects his soul.

Amanda Beuscher

January 1 through March 31, 2027

Amanda Beuscher is a mixed-media fiber artist who creates art meant to bring beauty and whimsy to a space through texture, color, and composition. Rather than focusing on the finished piece, Amanda centers her practice on the process of creating. Through selecting colors and textures, and engaging in the repetitive, meditative act of weaving and stitching, she found such a deep sense of peace that the pressure to create something perfect disappeared.
