2027 Artist-in-Residence Program

One-month artist residency in Syracuse, New York, for photographers and image-based media artists worldwide. Light Work has supported over 400 artists through this program since 1975, many achieving international recognition. Twelve to fifteen artists selected annually. Residents receive a $5,000 stipend, a furnished apartment, 24-hour access to state-of-the-art digital and darkroom facilities, and generous staff support. Selected artists are published in a special edition of Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual with a commissioned essay. The program partners with Autograph ABP and the Darryl Chappell Foundation.
