Each year the ARC faculty are joined by prominent or emerging artists who are
invited to campus for extended visits to pursue their own creative work (original
research), collaborate with students and faculty, and participate in the ARC
faculty seminar. In cooperation with other units on campus, these visitors also
teach on campus and present their work to the general public in various forums.
Residencies of one to three months give visiting artists space and time to pursue
their work; allow students to work with leading practitioners in their fields; stimulate
and challenge faculty artists and scholars; and give local community members the
opportunity to engage with important artists (and vice versa). Artists visiting Berkeley
find particularly valuable the opportunity to interact not only with other artists, but
with the University's critics and curators, and with scholars from the humanities
and sciences.
