The residency term is nine months, from September to May, and fellows may apply for a second term. Because the program is intended to foster intensive participation in an active peer group, including biweekly seminar meetings, Core fellows must reside in Houston for the duration of the Core term. Tuesday mornings are reserved for group discussions, and public lectures take place on Thursday evenings. Each spring the program mounts an exhibition of work produced during the current residency term. Critical studies residents may apply for support for a curatorial project in their second year. Residents receive a $20,000 stipend, 24-hour access to a private studio or office, and borrowing privileges at the MFAH Hirsch Library and Rice University Fondren Library. Limited administrative and financial support is available for successful international applicants seeking J-1 visas through the program’s partner organization, International Arts & Artists. No support is provided for other visas.

MakeLA is recruiting!
MakeLA is a new organization at UCLA that aims to connect students from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) with the tools of the UCLA Residential Life MakerSpace. 3D printers, laser cutters, and other machines are for everyone, not just for students interested in engineering — the skills learned by working with these tools can foster creative problem solving skills and can demonstrate that with DIY projects, the sky’s the limit.
Winter Quarter (2021) will be MakeLA’s pilot quarter and we are looking for students who want to be mentors to the LAUSD high school students. You will get a chance to help them learn to use those tools and build a personal relationship with them!
Information sessions are scheduled for:
- Monday, January 14 at 6pm PST
- Tuesday, January 19 at 6pm PST
- Monday, January 25 at 6pm PST
To receive the Zoom link, submit your contact information to this form (https://forms.gle/hW6r7ywHi5jQrQKL7)
Applications are due to this form (https://forms.gle/UvbLSibbG17qzm1M8) on Friday, January 29th at 11:59pm PST.
