When the Taft Museum of Art and the Robert S. Duncanson Society established the Duncanson Program in 1986, esteemed poet Nikki Giovanni became their first artist-in-residence.
In the decades since, nationally and internationally acclaimed artists have been selected for the honor.
On Cincinnati Edition, we talk with this year's Duncanson Artist-in-Residence and two previous honorees.
- Ayana Ross, 2026 Duncanson Artist-in-Residence
- Kathy Wade, Jazz singer
- Tracy Walker, musician
You can find more information about the Duncanson Program, now celebrating it's 40th year. Ayana's exhibit, "Beyond the Picturesque," will be on display beginning April 11.
