Emmanuel's Artist-in-Residence program supports a diverse group of artists, providing time and space for established and emerging artists to develop their work. The Emmanuel College Art Department offers a six-week artists residency to four artists each summer from mid-June to late-July.

The Art Department specifically aims to award a residency to one individual from each of the four categories: Ceramics, Photography, Printmaking and Social Practice. Fostering creative and artistic excellence, the residency also plays an important role in advancing the visual arts in the Emmanuel community.

The residency defines Emmanuel College as a leader in the visual arts and brings greater visibility to that leadership role beyond the confines of the College.

The 2026 application period is Now Open.

The deadline to apply is January 15, 2026 11:59pm eST.
