The purpose of the Artist-in-Residence program is to support the museums mission to preserve and share the history of the San Lorenzo Valley. The program invites artists to expand upon the interpretation of our historic sites, previous exhibitions, collections, and archives. Our current Museum collection does not accurately represent the past cultural diversity of the San Lorenzo Valley. Therefore, artists are encouraged to take on projects to fill this void.

During this 2 month residency, Peralta will create editions of 3D screen prints that highlight lost, suppressed, or absent visual histories tied to the historic and contemporary cultural diversity of the San Lorenzo Valley. His goal is to breathe dimensional life into these histories and encourage viewers to experience the stories not as flat or distant relics, but as vivid, engaging, and layered presences that still echo today. In addition, Peralta will present a screen-printing workshop, artist talk and an exhibition of the work he created during his residency
