Get Creative with the Pubantz Artist in Residence Program 

Are you a writer, artist, musician, or performer with a bold idea? The Pubantz Artist in Residence (AIR) Program at UNC Greensboro’s Lloyd International Honors College gives Honors students the time, space, and support to bring a creative vision to life over the course of an academic year. 

Named for the founding Dean of Lloyd International Honors College, Dr. Jerry Pubantz, the program helps students from any major dive deep into their art—whether you’re composing music, creating visual art, crafting stories, or experimenting with new media. You’ll work toward a public showcase that highlights your work and growth as an artist. 

You bring the passion. We’ll help you make it happen.
