installation residency 2026
The Marlin and Regina Miller Art Gallery at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania is seeking proposals for a site-specific immersive gallery installation piece, culminating after a 4 week in person artist residency.
This artist residency provides artists with opportunities to dive deeply into their artistic research, practice, and creative endeavors.
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania is in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania (between NYC and Philadelphia). The focus for this artist residency is to connect working artists and students in the creation of an immersive space. During the residency, artists are expected to explore the opportunities for collaboration within a variety of entities in the Kutztown university and community (depending on subject matter and when appropriate: cross dept collaborations, outreach to local schools, community programs, etc.)
Kutztown is one hour north of Philadelphia and two hours west of New York City, and has an enrollment of 6,000+ students. Each year, our College of Visual and Performing Arts awards over 200 undergraduate degrees in Communication Design, Animated Arts, Cinema & Television Production, Studio Art, Art History, Art Education; and graduate degrees in Communication Design, and Art Education. Our Visual Arts programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
