Posted by: Furman University
Deadline: Mon, May 5th, 2025
The Artist in Residence program at Furman University awards one residency each academic year to an artist or designer interested in developing a body of work in collaboration with students and faculty at the University. While the length of residency is flexible, with a minimum of six weeks, we encourage artists to consider staying for a full semester term and invite them to also teach an undergraduate foundations studio art course. If approved, the teaching artist or designer would receive additional compensation, according to current adjunct rates at the university. The residency culminates in a solo exhibition and presentation of the work produced over the residency period.
The True Inspiration Artist Residency is part of The Furman Advantage, a program that aims to build educational value through tailored student experiences. Through direct engagement and collaboration with practicing artists and designers, students gain valuable experiences that help shape their education. To witness and partake in the creation of a defined work from idea to realization is the centerpiece of the True Artist Residency.
This residency is open to emerging and professional artists or designers who reside in North America and hold an MFA or have a record of equivalent professional achievement. The program recognizes the importance of interdisciplinary practices and welcomes artists and designers working in all media. Preference will be given to artists who live outside the upstate South Carolina region. Ideal candidates will value collaboration and have good social and communication skills. It is the goal of the True Residency to foster an atmosphere of creative activity that extends throughout the university community.
This cycle, the residency program is especially interested in artists and designers whose works engage with the themes of public health, social justice, and/or environmental sustainability. Furman University houses the Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities and the Institute for the Advancement of Community Health, both of which present core opportunities for collaboration with the selected individual.
