The Resident Artist program is a 6 week program that further strengthens the artists instruction abilities, promotes their passion and shares their abilities with the community.
Stemming from the Artist in Residency Program, one artist is selected from the A.I.R Program to develop and instruct free workshops for the community at large to learn & enjoy.
The workshops will take place 3 times per year throughout Greater Forest Lawn. Led by IAACC’s Resident Artist, you could learn- how to express yourself through art or develop a new technique.
Follow IAACC social media or check back here to learn when the next workshops will take place.

Annie Feng
Annie Feng is a multifaceted artist whose provocative surrealist imagery seamlessly integrates her diverse skills and passion for upcycling. With a background in neuroscience and psychology from the University of Toronto, complemented by a minor in visual art, Annie’s creative journey is a fusion of intellectual inquiry and imaginative exploration.
Her artistic practice is deeply rooted in her experience across various fields, including animation, woodworking, and garment making, alongside her commitment to upcycling. Annie’s work stands out for its ability to transform discarded materials into striking surrealist pieces that challenge perception and evoke emotional depth. By reimagining the ordinary through a surrealist lens, she creates emotion-provoking art that invites viewers to explore the space between reality and reality as perceived through emotion.
Annie’s innovative use of repurposed objects in her mixed-media art highlights her dedication to both creativity and environmental responsibility. Her artworks blend 2-dimensional paintings with tactile textures, reflecting a unique perspective that merges the discarded with the extraordinary. Through her surrealist imagery, Annie offers a fresh and engaging dialogue on the intersections of materiality, sustainability, and artistic expression.
