Artists & Their Regions is the Center for Creative Work's signature course. It features seminar-style class meetings and a week-long artists' retreat that gives students and faculty time to focus on their creative projects.

The course is offered each spring to upperclassmen dedicated to honing their craft and developing a specific creative project over the semester.
