residency opportunities, as well as innovative teaching and learning experiences.
[IRP] about
The [IRP] INDEPENDENT RESIDENCY PROGRAM is a five-week residency program for visual artists. [IRP] provides artists with a studio space and an opportunity to showcase their work inside the [IRP] display space at no cost to the artists. However, artists are responsible for their travel, art materials and room and board if not from the Chicagoland area. The Residency takes place for five weeks during the Summer Term and Fall/Winter Term.
Although we are unable to offer at this time, a production budget or stipend in support of basic exhibition preparation,
CUAS and [IRP] offer applicants viewing opportunities by many prominent critics, gallerists, curators, and artists. Valuable contacts are made through these informal encounters. CUAS programming also includes exposure via lectures, presentations and panel discussions. At the end of the residency, CUAS will host alongside the featured exhibition in the main space or an independent opening reception to the general public. This is a great chance for the artists to share the work done during the residency with a broader audience who is made up of professionals, art lovers, neighbors, friends. Experimentation is encouraged as is discourse and collaboration. Participants benefit from the advice and criticism of noted art critics, gallery owners and prominent artists who are invited to visit.
[IRP] provides its residents with an opportunity to:
develop new work
initiate discourse and collaborations among peers
exhibit work to the public
advance careers in Chicago and beyond
receive critiques from invited outside guest artists
