Artists applying for the program should have a demonstrated history of rooting their practice in community engagement.

- Explores dimensions of ethnicity and race--expansive cultural implications and routine individual experiences

Artists will receive:
- Access to library at the University of Chicago
- $1,000 monthly stipend
- Studio space at the Arts Incubator in Washington Park
- Budget for materials
- Access to university faculty and staff
- Support for a final exhibition or culminating program at the Arts Incubator in the summer of 2020
