Artist in Residence Program

The artist-in-residence is strongly encouraged to reside in the Biosphere 2 student village, where subsidized accommodation can be provided. Modest stipends can also be applied for to cover material costs. Please include this in your project proposal budget.

Artists-in-Residence are also invited to exhibit their work at the B2 Art Gallery and/or on the campus grounds.

Artists interested in investigating the intersection between Art and Science are invited to apply to our residency program. There is currently no deadline for application. Inquiries can be addressed directly to:

Dr. Pierre Meystre
Director, B2 Institute
The University of Arizona
meystre@physics.arizona.edu

1. A description of the proposed project.
2. The project’s expected duration.
3. A statement of purpose explaining how a residency at the B2 Institute is expected to inform and benefit the project.
