Light Work's Urban Video Project is now accepting proposals for the 2025-26 UVP Residential Commission!

  
We're looking for artists to create new work for the UVP architectural projection site on the facade of the iconic Everson Museum of Art.

  
The exhibition of the resulting work will take place in the following program year (2026-2027).

  

UVP Residential Commission artists will receive a fee of $10,000 toward the creation of the new work.

  
They will also be in residence for 2-4 consecutive weeks during the 2025-26 program year, during which they will be provided work space, facilities access, in-kind support, and accommodation in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence apartment in Syracuse, New York.
  
  

Urban Video Project: Residential Commission

Light Work invites between twelve and fifteen artists to Syracuse to devote one month to creative projects every year. Over 400 artists have participated in Light Work’s Artist-in-Residence Program, and many of them have gone on to achieve international acclaim.

  

The residency includes a $5,000 stipend, a furnished artist apartment, 24-hour access to our state-of-the-art facilities, and generous staff support. 

  
Work by each Artist-in-Residence is published in a special edition of _Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual,_ along with an essay commissioned by Light Work. Work by former Artists-in-Residence is also part of the Light Work Collection.
