Program Description

The UCSF Library Archives and Special Collections and the Makers Lab are piloting a one year artist-in-residence program. The UCSF Library Artist in Residence award, valued at $6,000, will be given annually to one candidate with a degree in Studio Arts or a related field and/or a history of exhibiting artistic work in professional venues. The goal of this program is to promote health humanities by exposing and re-purposing historical materials preserved in the Archives and Special Collections. Through the collaboration with the Makers Lab, the artist will create works that explore connections between art and healing, examine the process of scientific discovery, address contemporary issues related to health care and social justice, or historical subjects in health sciences that are inspired by the Archives and Special Collections holdings including rare books, personal papers, photographs, artifacts, university publications, East Asian and Art collections.
