Description

The Monira Foundation’s Residency program in Chicago for 2026–27 provides time and space for interdisciplinary artists to focus on a specific project. Beginning in mid-September 2026, up to two artists or collaborative groups will each be granted six-month access to our project space in Chicago to develop new work or continue an ambitious ongoing body of work.

This residency emphasizes self-sufficiency and project focus. Artists will work independently in a flexible studio or gallery-style space and are expected to shape their schedules. The program supports experimentation and cross-disciplinary practices and is designed for artists ready to lead their own process. Residents must participate in a public Open House during their term, sharing their work-in-progress, research, or project outcomes with the community in a format of their choosing.
