Bard Graduate Center Artist in Residence (AiR) Programs are designed to bring artists into conversation with Bard Graduate Center’s gallery exhibitions and extensive library collection.

Digital Artist in Residence (New!)
Bard Graduate Center is pleased to launch its first Digital Artist in Residence program offering funding, exhibition space, and support to digital artists. Bard Graduate Center will award selected artists a $2000 stipend and a $1000 materials budget to create an interactive project that exists at the intersection of architecture, design, technology, feminism, and materiality, themes inspired by BGC’s upcoming exhibition on modernist designer and architect Eileen Gray. Bard Graduate Center is also open to exhibiting relevant existing work.

Library Artist in Residence
The Bard Graduate Center’s Library Artist in Residence (AIR) program invites artists whose practice is grounded in research to use our library collection as an incubator for new work that will interact with our collection in new and non-traditional ways. Artists are invited to conduct research in subject areas relating to their work or to address the library itself as an organized collection of print material, utilizing the library’s reference staff as thought partners in this process. Library AIRs will have the opportunity to present their work. This could take the form of a pop-up exhibition, a library intervention, a publishing project, a public workshop, or an artist talk. Bard Graduate Center will award selected artists a $1000 stipend and a $500 materials budget.
