Inaugurated in 2016, the Borgeson Artist in Residence Program is a 12-week summer artist residency, hosted by the Department of Art & Art History at Hope College, that runs from mid-May through mid-August of each year.
The residency supports the creation of new work through provision of a stipend, studio and living space on Hope’s campus. In addition to the time and space the residency offers, the artist in residence engages with the department’s students through a series of encounters, which might include workshops, studio conversations, critiques or assistantships. The artist concludes their residency with a month-long solo exhibition and public lecture at the college’s De Pree Art Gallery.
