Art - Borgeson Artist in Residence
Holland, MI job
Details Information Position Title Art - Borgeson Artist in Residence Classification Title Administrative Part Time (.1-.74 FTE) Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligibility Department Art & Art History Job Description Borgeson Artist in Residence 2026
Inaugurated in 2016, the Borgeson Artist in Residence Program is an eight-week artist residency for early and mid-career artists. It is hosted by the Department of Art & Art History at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and runs from mid-May through mid-July of each year.
The residency provides a private, semi-furnished, on-campus house with basic amenities; a private 1,308 square foot studio space in the Department of Art and Art History; a financial stipend; and a one-month exhibition at Hope College's 2,136 square foot De Pree Gallery at the conclusion of the residency. The exhibition opens in late August and runs through September. The residency stipend is paid in two installments, at the beginning of the residency and in September, at the close of the exhibition. Installation and travel to and from the closing of the exhibition is covered by the De Pree Gallery.
The resident artist is expected to produce a substantial body of new work commensurable to the space of the De Pree Gallery. The Artist in Residence works with a student assistant (approximately 30 hours per week), as well as the Borgeson Director and the De Pree Gallery staff. The Artist in Residence hosts one public open studio during the residency and will be available for a promotional video, scheduled in advance, with Hope College Public Affairs and Marketing. During the open studio and closing reception, there is an expectation that the Artist in Residence will be available for interaction with donors and supporters.
As part of the residency's goal to create opportunities for our students and the larger campus community, the exhibition concludes with a reception, in-person artist's talk, a workshop, and student studio visits. The artist is expected to participate in the exhibition and related programming.
Details regarding the provided studio space, housing, department facilities and gallery, and past residents can be found on the department's website: Residency info. Please review information regarding on-campus pets and service animals.
Because the residency occurs during the summer academic break, interactions with other artists, students, and faculty are limited. The Artist in Residence must be able to work for extended periods alone and/or with the student assistant.
A personal vehicle is recommended for access to Lake Michigan, as well as ease of access to grocery and hardware stores. Housing, the De Pree Art Center and Gallery, Hope's campus, and Holland's vibrant downtown and farmer's market are all within walking distance.
