About OUR Artist Residency
Our Artist in Residence Program is a one month production residency where 8-10 artists are granted full access to our facilities and community to develop their practice. The selected artists are given unlimited scanning, a printing stipend, a personal studio with a calibrated workstation, training and guidance on tech by our staff, an organized public event, and lifetime of additional lab perks.
During their month at LATITUDE residents are asked to be mentors to the community, sharing their insights and creative methods.
We encourage artists who are interested in production, education, and tech experimentation to apply. No prior printing experience, art education, or media specificity is required, but we do require a level of professionalism and communication to support the artists’ success.
Check out our application in the link above!
This application will help us understand who you are! We do not have a word count but we encourage you to take up space! The more details that are specific to you and your practice that you provide the more we have to better understand you.
The 2027 AIR application opens on August 1st and closes on September 1st at 12pm (noon) CST.
The first two weeks are free to apply, and the remaining weeks are a $20 donation.

If you have any FURTHER questions don't hesitate to reach out to daeja@latitudechicago.org-
We love to host artists from greater Illinois and from out of state! Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer any financial assistance for travel or accommodations. We are always seeking ways to help fund our residency program and will continue to work towards getting our 2027 residents a stipend (beyond the $1000 in printing) but it is not a promise or a guarantee. If you are far from Chicago but the residency speaks to you we hope to still have the chance to see your application.

If you have been selected as a 2027 resident you will be asked to provide three different months you could work in the Latitude studio. We will organize the residents so everyone has a month in the lab that works for them.
