During the 1970’s, the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and North Carolina Arts Council formed a Visiting Artist Program that allowed more than 300 artists to complete one or two-year residencies at colleges throughout the state.
This gave artists the opportunity to share their talents with the community through lectures, demonstrations, concerts, exhibits, and special programs. Artists were limited to a max of four years in the Visiting Artist Program and could participate at different institutions.
In 1976, the program came to then-Durham Technical Institute.
