LORAIN PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM MAKER-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM
The Maker-in-Residence program connects the public with art and the people who create it and includes various art forms such as theater and performing arts, visual arts, technology arts, media arts, written arts and music. Two residencies run concurrently, each at the LPLS branch best suited for the artist or maker, and last for three months. Regular open studio hours at the library allow the makers and artists to create on-site as patrons drop in, interact and learn about different artistic processes. Each maker also offers special free workshops for the public each month.
