In Miami Beach, home to ArtCenter/South Florida, sea level rise is not a future concept. It’s an everyday reality that demands attention and solutions from all corners of the city. Flooding, both from rising tides and storms, is a common occurrence, making roads impassable, damaging homes and stressing the island’s infrastructure. The City of Miami Beach is being proactive in addressing sea level rise, investing 500 million dollars to raise roads and install pumps to protect the island and the people who live there. Such a wide-scale problem, however, touches all facets of the city’s social, economic and cultural life. Like many other cities globally, the city of Miami Beach is embarking on creating a resiliency plan that incorporates the voices of residents and experts and will prepare the city to survive, adapt and grow as it faces a warming climate and other 21st century challenges.

ArtCenter’s new Art in Public Life residency is a chance for artists to have a seat at the table, contributing ideas and engaging the public in ways to address these pressing issues. Over a year, an artist will be embedded in the City of Miami Beach, helping to develop its resiliency plan. The Artist in Residence will have the opportunity to help address issues from coastal flooding to affordable housing and public transit, among others. Throughout the residency, the selected artist will develop artworks and public programs for and with the community, as well as provide meaningful insights to the city during this critical phase of planning. The results of the residency could have far-reaching impacts, as the work will be shared with other cities around the world facing similar challenges.


Who we’re looking for
The Art in Public Life residency is based on the premise that art can drive social and political innovation. As a result, we are looking for artists interested in interacting with urban communities and the way people in those communities imagine the future in the face of large-scale challenges. In addition, we are looking for candidates who can connect their artistic practice to other fields of knowledge, like architecture, science, public policy and urban planning, in order to create new models for public action.


Eligibility
Because of the length of the residency, this opportunity is only open to U.S. citizens, non-U.S. citizens who have legal permanent residency status in the United States, or applicants who are non-U.S. citizens with valid visas to work in the United States. Note: ArtCenter does not provide nor cover fees associated with visas or travel documentation.


What we offer
25,000 USD stipend for one-year residency, housing in Miami Beach, and a maximum of 7,500 USD in production funds. The residency will begin April 1, 2018.



Art in Public Life is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation as part of its Knight Arts Challenge, which funds the best ideas for bringing South Florida.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho. The Viswanath temple built in 999 AD is right in front, less than 20 meters from Last Ship. Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
