The UCSF Library Archives and Special Collections and Makers Lab are accepting proposals for the sixth annual UCSF Library Artist in Residence program. The UCSF Library Artist in Residence award, valued at $8,000, will be given annually to one candidate with a degree in studio arts or a related field or a history of exhibiting artistic work in professional venues. The 2025 residency will begin on July 1, 2025 and end on June 30, 2026.
See the UCSF Library Artist in Residence webpage for program background, artist responsibilities, and provided support. We strongly encourage artists located in Northern California to apply for better access to the UCSF Library collections and services.
Proposed projects can include, but are not limited to painting, photography, performance, sculpture, 3D scanning and 3D printing, programmable electronics, digital, video, and installation art. We advise applicants to review the projects by previous artists in residence – Farah Hamade, Pantea Karimi, Jacoub Reyes, and Katina Bitsicas.
Deadline for proposals was April 6, 2025
