In the selection process, the advisory committee will prioritize proposals that are responsive to today’s cultural context. The candidate is not required to have an academic background and can work in the visual arts, archiving, filmmaking and time-based media. The program is not open to currently enrolled students. The Archive will provide an honorarium of $10,750 for the selected artist-in-residence. This program is made possible with support from the Golden Globes Foundation.
