Artist-in-Residence Taylor Cappelleri

Taylor Cappelleri is Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette's artist in residence for the 2023-2024 & 2022-2023 seasons. She enrolled her kids into some Civic Theatre classes which eventually, lead to, now seven years later, her and her family being very involved in the theatre.

​

"It has been a true full circle moment for our family," Cappelleri wrote. "...(In college), I fell in love with a 2D design class that required us to make art only using black and white paper. Fast forward twenty years later, paper is the medium I chose to go back to when I started creating again in 2019.

 

"During 2020 I spent a lot of time in my art room using art as a tool toward self-discovery and healing. This is the story and process I shared in my first gallery show at The Arts Federation in October 2020. Thereafter, I began offering a commissioned art experience called 'Tell Me Your Story.' This process gave me the honor of hearing people’s most precious stories and turning them into pieces of art."
