Artist in Residence

The Artist in Residence Program brings innovative artists working in diverse media to campus for quarter-long residencies to facilitate the production of new work, give the Northwestern community insight into the process of production, and recognize the importance of the fine arts to the humanities. Each artist is co-sponsored by an NU department or institute to teach a course or otherwise provide their students with a unique learning experience outside of the classroom.
