The SJRF Artist-In-Residence Program was established in 1997.  Its goal is to introduce elementary and middle-school students to Scott Joplin as the King of Ragtime, Classic Ragtime as the root of American music, and Sedalia’s connection to American music history.  Key facets:
 
  • Engages one noted Ragtime musician per year as Artist in Residence, who reaches 3,500 students through assemblies in ten Pettis County Missouri schools. 
  • This program is traditionally scheduled during February/Black History Month and is sponsored in partnership with Parent Teacher Associations and Rotary.
  • The performer is hosted by a SJRF Board member family for the week and performs a benefit concert at the Liberty Theatre.
  • Promotional material supporting the mission of the SJRF is distributed to students along with an invitation to attend a free family-based event held during the Sedalia Ragtime Festival.
 
Recent SJRF Artists-In-Residence Performers:
  • 2016  Richard Dowling
  • 2017  Bill Edwards
  • 2018  Frederick Hodges
  • 2019  William McNally
  • 2020  Taslimah Bey
