Description
The Visiting Artist-in-Residence program, run by Queen’s University’s Vice-Principal Research and Innovation (VPRI), enhances research creation through exchange between university faculty and the broader arts community. Funding supports visiting artists’ project work in a faculty-hosted setting, including travel, living costs, and artistic supplies, materials, and technology.
The program considers the quality of the host’s mentoring environment, the artistic project’s potential to generate new knowledge, and the artist’s preparation for the residency. Priorities include student engagement, diverse recruitment of trainees, project feasibility, and equity, diversity, and inclusion in project design and practice. Residencies should align with the academic term cycle and last no more than eight weeks.
