Fermilab is accepting proposals for the 2024 Guest Artist and Guest Composer programs.
Fermilab is America’s premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory, seeking to explore questions like - What are we made of? How did the universe begin? What secrets do the smallest, most elemental particles of matter hold, and how can they help us understand the intricacies of space and time? (fnal.gov) We are home to thousands of scientists from around the world.
At Fermilab, the arts have been viewed as way to not only nurture creativity and welcome our neighbors, but also to explore and share scientific ideas and concepts.
Beginning in 2014, the Fermilab Art Gallery initiated an Artist-in-Residence program, inviting visual artists to delve deeply into Fermilab science, make connections with different scientists and experiments at the lab, and harness these explorations as inspiration for new work. We are planning on a virtual residency (if possible in-person) beginning January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Details here
The call for artists is now OPEN until August 31, 2023 midnight CT. Apply here.
