ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

Every year Light Work invites between twelve and fifteen artists to come to Syracuse to devote one month to creative projects. Over 360 artists have participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program, and many of them have gone on to achieve international acclaim.

The 2012 line-up of Artists-in-Residence includes: Karen Miranda-Rivadeneira, Aspen Mays, Shimon Attie, Justyna Badach, Claire Beckett, Michael Bühler-Rose, Raymond Meeks, Nate Larson & Marni Shindelman, Irina Rozovsky, Heidi Kumao, John Freyer, John Chervinsky, Valerio Spada, and Brijesh Patel. We are now accepting applications for residencies in 2013.

The residency includes a $4,000 stipend, a furnished artist apartment, 24-hour access to our state-of-the-art facilities, and generous staff support. Work by each Artist-in-Residence is published in a special edition of Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual along with an essay commissioned by Light Work. Work by former Artists-in-Residence is also part of the Light Work Collection.

Applications to the AIR program are accepted throughout the year. Please see the How to Apply section for details on our facility and the application instructions. If you have any questions regarding the application process or the status of your application, please contact Light Work at Shane Lavalette at slavalet@syr.edu.
