Residencies
Artist production residencies are the heart of the curatorial program at EMPAC. Much of the work that we commission and present is developed in collaboration with our curatorial and production staff during artist residencies. Artists benefit from unparalleled access to EMPAC's technological infrastructure for making their work, which includes dedicated support from an expert team of video, audio, stage, and production engineers and technicians. Residencies are often planned years in advance to afford time for extended engagement between artists and EMPAC staff. The number of residencies, as well as the structure and length of each, is tailored in conversations with the individual artist and for the specific project.
The open-call residency program ended in 2023. EMPAC no longer hosts these residencies.
