Fall 2025 The Artist Residency Project (Online)

About the Open Call

The Artist Residency Project is designed for fine artists working across discipline, medium and platform. Through online platforms, it aims to deliver a robust, global residency experience. Working with SVA's distinguished faculty, participants will develop their practice without the limitations of location or the necessity for travel. The Artist Residency Project aims to create an inclusive online space where artists can thrive, nurture their practice and build an active, engaged community. Faculty will conduct remote studio visits and discuss each participant's work on an individual basis, as well as facilitate group critiques and reading groups. Alongside these visits, daily activities and ways to connect will keep participants engaged with their community of artists, and a cohort of professional mentors spanning the fields of art, design, and contemporary practice. Special lectures by guest artists, critics, and gallery directors will provide further insight into the realities of the working artist in the present moment. Faculty and lecturers have included Gregory Coates, Matthew Deleget, Tobi Kahn, Sohee Koo, Alois Kronschlaeger, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Amy Myers, Iviva Olenick, Danica Phelps, Jeca Rodríguez-Colón, Accra Shepp, and Allison Hewitt Ward. Visiting critics have included Deanna Evans, Jared Linge, Alex Paik, Wallace Whitney, and Kat Ryals. This residency is fully online and offered through a combination of synchronous as well as asynchronous studio visits, critiques, lectures, discussions and activities. Synchronous sessions will be announced and scheduled in consideration of different time zones.
