The Artists in Residence program at the Rock Hall is in partnership with The Kulas Foundation. In its fifth year, the program focuses on up and coming musicians from the Northeast Ohio area. During the summer, the artists perform regularly on the plaza, spend time writing songs, and develop their musical skills. Additionally, they meet with industry professionals from around the country to learn about all facets of the music business- including marketing, merchandising, copywriting and publishing, PR and more. By the end of the program they will have tangible tools and resources, along with improved skills, that they can take with them to move to the next level of their music careers.
