RIO’s 2026 Artist-in-Residence Program

Artist in Residence

The Research and Innovation Office (RIO) will accept applications for its Artist-in-Residence Program starting August 11 with the LOI due August 10. The program allows artists to collaborate with scientists to benefit both science and art, spurring creative thinking and innovation. RIO will select artists for a residency to produce science-based artwork and visuals, display their projects, and participate in a series of public talks to explain their work. We seek projects that bring art and science together to illuminate important questions and big ideas. See our past award recipients.

The program funds art faculty who are drawn to collaboration, interested in interdisciplinary artistic, scientific and technological dialogue, and open to developing new working methods and techniques to share scientific discoveries.
