neiu art + design studio art residency

The NEIU Art + Design Studio Art Residency strives to create visible connections between our diverse population of art and design students with working artists who embody these identities. This interaction provides invaluable insights and inspiration to our students, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and techniques. Visiting Artists should demonstrate a commitment to their artistic practice and an interest in engaging with NEIU’s students and creative community.

Each Visiting Artist is awarded an honorarium and will have full access for a semester to the NEIU Art + Design facilities specific to their project. Over the course of their residency, the Visiting Artist showcases their work in a public academic forum, leads a hands-on workshop and participates in a Portfolio Review Day for NEIU’s Art + Design students.
