Kansas City-based, Jamaican born artist Paul Anthony Smith has been selected to attend the prestigious Art Omi International Artists Residency program this summer in Upstate New York.  This three-week residency program provides visual artists from around the world with a studio, living quarters and meals in a stimulating atmosphere where exchange, experimentation, discourse and collaboration are encouraged.

Through an ongoing partnership with Art Omi, Charlotte Street Foundation sponsors one Kansas City based artist to attend Art Omi International Artists Residency each summer.  Charlotte Street Visual Artist Awards Fellows from 1997 to the present, as well as other artists nominated by prior Charlotte Street Art Omi Fellows, are invited to apply for the Charlotte Street-sponsored spot. The artist is chosen by Art Omi’s selection panel from among the Kansas City artists applying.
