Center for Afrofuturist Studies Visiting Artist Residency

Deadline: May 1st

Since 2016, the CAS has hosted residencies for artists of color whose work mines and expands the possibilities of Black futurism. Artists-in-residence are housed in a large private apartment at Public Space One (PS1)’s repurposed 19th-century house near downtown Iowa City, IA – a building that also houses the CAS reading room, PS1’s busy gallery and performance space, artist studios, and community organizations. Residents have access to resources that include the CAS reading room collection, PS1’s community print/book and media studios and outdoor spaces, and community connections fostered by the CAS team before, during, and after their residency. Artists are also encouraged to share their work with the community via a youth workshop and/or public programs.
