About On My Own Time:

On My Own Time was initiated in 1974 by the Cultural Resources Council in cooperation with the Everson Museum of Art to help local businesses identify, celebrate and promote creativity among their employees.  Over the years the program has uncovered thousands of artists, creating countless rewards for the employees and their sponsoring companies. This unique program is a recipient of the Private Sector Initiative Commendation awarded by The President of the United States.

On My Own Time’s popularity and success has spread across the country, to cities where it has been replicated, name and all. On My Own Time is a program that makes artistic talents that might otherwise go unnoticed visible. It recognizes a most precious gift – creativity.

Some of the world’s finest artists have graced the walls of the Everson Museum of Art and now it’s your turn to join the ranks of such acclaimed individuals!
