Rachel Lubeck is the founder and director of the American Landmark Artist-in-Residence program. Since launching the program in 2020, she has guided its growth across multifamily communities in several states, connecting artists with housing while bringing creative programming into the places people live.

Rachel works closely with participating artists as they adapt their practice to a community setting. She encourages programming that feels true to the artist while offering residents something thoughtful and engaging. She also helped develop the Educator-in-Residence initiative, which extends the model to tutoring and educational programming.

Rachel’s approach has been shaped by years of travel and firsthand experience living within different kinds of communities. These experiences gave her an enduring interest in how people find belonging and what allows meaningful exchange to develop over time.

An artist herself, Rachel believes art can interrupt routine and open new ways of seeing. Her broader vision is to make creative experiences more accessible while fostering environments in which people can learn from one another and feel more connected to everyday life.
