April and May, 2026 - Transatlantic Rising Stars artist, Benedetta Cocco and local artist Talon Cavender Wilson
The Granite Falls Community Artist In Residence (CAIR) program has been selected as one of only seven sites in the United States to host a visiting artist through the newly launched Transatlantic Rising Stars Project, an elite three-year cultural exchange funded by the European Union.
The pilot initiative brought emerging artists from European Union countries to select US cities to collaborate, create and engage locally. Granite Falls CAIR was chosen as part of the visual arts strand of the program and is the smallest organization among the selected sites . Thank you to Benedetta Cocco and Talon Cavender Wilson for their hard work!
