Taft Museum of Art Duncanson Artist-in-Residence

Deadline: January 31st

The Duncanson Artist-in-Residence will be actively engaging the Cincinnati community for two weeks in Spring 2026. The ideal candidate will not only be an outstanding visual artist who uses paint as their primary medium, but also a dynamic educator who is comfortable working with a variety of audiences including students ranging from grades K-12, families, and adults. Throughout the Residency, the artist will share their creative vision/talent by leading a variety of public programs including lectures, workshops, gallery talks, school visits, and other signature events. Flexibility will be key to execute the roster of innovative and collaborative programs. Artists will have the opportunity to advance their work, actively pursue their career ambitions, and foster connections within the Cincinnati community.

Residents receive a $10,000 honorarium, plus a per diem of $69/per day to cover meals and incidentals, paid in two installments. This honorarium is intended to fund the preparation and execution of the Residency. In addition to the honorarium, the Taft will provide lodging and transportation for the Artist and cover fees for the community events and workshops during the Residency.
