Studio Residency

This residency provides space for an artist, thinker, curator, or collective to complete a work, develop an idea, test out a particular technique or way of working, or deeply think through concepts and research material for a future project.

Open to any discipline and awarded to one successful applicant, this seven-week residency is complete with a $1,500 stipend (to be used at the artist’s discretion), use of the gallery as a studio/working space for the duration of the residency, and assistance from — or collaboration with — UVA staff. At the artist’s discretion, the project will culminate in a presentation (performance, screening, short exhibition, lecture, reading, or happening) that showcases works completed and in-progress. UVA will provide support to organize a final presentation. Selected artist(s) may also decide to organize public activations and witnessing of the work in process, or invite guest collaborators.
