In February 2020, prior to the first wave of the CO- VID-19 pandemic, a City Artist-in-Residence (CAIR) Advisory Group (made up of City staff, business owners, community champions, and local artists) in partnership with the Department of Public Transformation (DoPT), launched a Call for Artists inviting applicants from across the country to apply to be the inaugural City Artist-in-Residence in Granite Falls.
