A residency at Hyde Park Art Center connects artists deeply with their own practice in the context of our vibrant, multifaceted community. Each year, our program invites international, national, and Chicago artists and curators to complement their mode of production with increased attention towards reflection, reconnection, and research to spark new ideas and considerations of local and global art practices.
Residencies for Chicago based artists offer free studio space to make work, research new projects, access the Art Center’s broad international network of artists and resources, and connect with a dynamic public. Programs vary from seasonal to year-long residencies.
