Summer Artists-in-Residence Program Returns

The UD Summer Student Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program is an innovative partnership of the Department of Visual Arts, ArtStreet, and Student Development. The program enlists UD student artists during the summer to create artworks for permanent installation in residence halls and learning spaces. Each artist is “commissioned” by the facility manager to address a problem area of the designated space. Faculty advisors guide students though a ten week process of site analysis, research, model making, proposal preparation, and artmaking.

The program was piloted in 2007, in which site-specific artworks were created for 5 residential facilities across campus. Five students have been selected for the 2009 program, which runs from May 18 through July 24.

Check out the video from last year's program:

Produced by dalSegno Productions.
