Artist-in-Residence Application

Application Deadline: February 15, 2026 at 11:59 pm (EST)


Eligibility: Artist-in-Residence applications are accepted from professional artists who are not currently seeking a degree (students are not eligible).

Please prepare a single PDF document to upload in this application. That document file should be no larger than 5MB and include name and website at the top of each page. Do not include any sensitive or private information (eg. SSN) in the file. Include only these components, in this order: 

  1. Five Images or Other Representations of your work from the past three years, with identifying information below each image. One image or item per page. If images cannot reasonably represent your work (e.g. music, writing?) please use this space (1 to 5 pages) to provide material or web links to specific products that do, so that we can experience five samples of your work, quickly.
  2. Artist Statement (250 words or less). Tell us about yourself, your work, and your process. Please speak specifically about how your work connects to science, biology, or the natural world. Refer to the ArtLab Mission statement to understand what we are looking for.
  3. Residency Proposal (250 words or less). Outline a potential project plan for your residency. Please let us know: studio space requirements, special resources, infrastructure, materials, or other limitations or requirements of your work (for example, a kiln).
  4. CV (no more than 2 pages).
