The purpose of the 3-Wings Visiting Artist Fellowship is to provide work compensation for an established artist in the ceramics field to visit the Lighthouse ArtCenter Ceramic Studio over a 2-week period. The funding is through an endowment made by friends of the school whose workshop experience with visiting artists inspired them to create this opportunity for others.
