Musician Carlos Figueroa is joinging the museum as the Artist-in-Residence for the month of November. He will feature Latin and Brazilian music. 

A matching grant from the Nebraska Arts Council makes the Artist-in-Residence program possible. This unique museum program allows a new local artist to join the museum staff every six months to teach visitors about their art through workshops and observation sessions housed in the Karen Levin Artist-in-Residence Studio in the museum’s Creative Arts Center.

Carlos Figueroa is available for residencies or workshops in the music discipline with a focus on drum set, percussion and rhythm section. He can work in any classroom setting with students of all ages. Carlos works with students on maintenance and proper care of instruments, selection of instruments, tuning, technique, all styles of music, listening, interpretation, soloing, rehearsal technique, accuracy, phrasing, individual practice, concentration and performance. He teaches about the creative process and how to transfer creativity to music. Carlos also conducts teacher in-services, and is available for guest performances.
