The Kirk Newman Art School at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts is offering nine-month Post Baccalaureate Residencies for 2026-2027. Applications are currently open and are due May 15. The Residency is designed to assist post baccalaureate students in growing and strengthening their art practice in a supportive community with access to well-equipped studio facilities and guidance from professional mentors and museum staff. This year, we are offering residencies in ceramics, drawing and painting, jewelry and metals, photography and digital media, sculpture, printmaking, and fiber. Each resident receives up to two classes per term at the Kirk Newman Art School, along with a $150 stipend for materials (per term) and access to the studio in their discipline.
