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, an ink stipend, a personal studio with workstation and viewing wall, training and guidance by our staff, an organized public event to present their new work, 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. For more details on how to apply, please email daeja@latitudechicago.org. Applications open August 1st, 2026.

About OUR Artist Residency

The Residency

The LATITUDE Artist in Residence program started in 2013 with the mission to better support artists and the production of their work. Our current focus is to support artists who are interested in using our printing and scanning services to expand their practice, regardless of medium or experience. We have accepted photographers, painters, performance artists, new media artists and sculptors to name a few.

Public Programming

During their month-long residency, artists are asked to put on one community programming event. Residents are asked to be mentors to the community, sharing their insights and creative methods. In the past we’ve hosted panel discussions, artist talks, performances, workshops, and critiques.

Ink Stipend

Residents receive an $1,000 ink stipend, unlimited scanning, a personal workstation, training and guidance by our staff, an organized public event to present their new work, and lifetime free lab access. At this time, we are not able to offer a housing stipend. The LATITUDE team will help schedule studio visits during your month-long residency.
