Speaker Information

Visionaries, storytellers, disrupters—artists of all media have long imagined the future of our democracy.

Drawing on the rich tradition of the arts as a catalyst for social change, the Atkin Residency in the Art of Democracy supports undergraduate student artists to investigate the paradoxes, evolutions, histories, stories, and possibilities of U.S. democracy. Open to creators of all kinds, this competitive yearlong residency provides a platform for artists to deepen their practice, gain visibility, and foster public discourse. In 2024, the inaugural resident will be awarded a $10,000 stipend to offset living costs, in lieu of academic year earnings, and to support learning and the production of work.
