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.

In 1976, the program came to then-Durham Technical Institute.
