Ekard Artist-in-Residence

Residency Details

• Selection Process

  Artists are selected through a combination of invitation and proposal-based application. We are especially interested in activities that will enhance — and may be integrated into — the studio art courses offered in our department. Proposed activities might also take a more open-ended or "one-off" form that allows for broader campus or community participation, possibly responding to — or framed within — a particular disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective or challenge.

   

• Compensation

  Our directors work with our visitors to facilitate the organizational, logistical and financial resources necessary so that artists can focus on creating the best experience for our students and on their own creative growth and exploration. 
   
  The Ekard Artist-in-Residence program provides travel funds, lodging, meals, a materials budget and a generous honorarium commensurate with the level of engagement. Payment will be made upon the completion of the residency.
