he UCLA Film & Television Archive is delighted to announce its inaugural artist-in-residence program that will host an emerging artist for two weeks to activate the Archive’s collection in their artistic practice. The program will provide the artist with the time and support necessary to access and work with the Archive’s unique resources, as well as reach new audiences and make new connections with Los Angeles’ cultural community.

Application deadline: Monday, January 8, 2024, 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time For more information about the residency and to submit an application, please visit the Archive’s website: https://cinema.ucla.edu/blogs/archive-blog/2023/12/04/artist-in-residence-program

The Archive recognizes that barriers to archival access have limited engagement with this rich collection, particularly among emerging artists and cultural producers from marginalized communities. 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 Archive will provide an honorarium of $8,000 for the selected artist-in-residence. This program is made possible with support from the Golden Globes Foundation.
