Gregg Museum Relaunches Artist in Residency Program with Carl Joe Williams’ Amazing Grace

The Gregg Museum of Art & Design’s first resident artist of 2025 is Carl Joe Williams, who arrived in late January from New Orleans and right after his completion of a massive mural for the City of New Orleans. Williams, a contemporary African American artist who is nationally known for his multimedia paintings, sculpture, installations and interdisciplinary works, has wasted little time immersing himself in NC State’s campus while also staying with the Art Village student community.
