Stonewall Student Artist Residency
Pride Live and the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC) invite undergraduate and graduate students at accredited colleges and universities across the United States to participate in the Stonewall Student Artist Residency. This national competition seeks to bring fresh creative voices into the SNMVC and to reflect on the profound journey from persecution to preservation that defines the Stonewall legacy.
By engaging students with the history of the Stonewall Uprising and its lasting impact on the LGBTQ+ community, the competition encourages creative interpretations of Stonewall’s legacy while fostering cultural and social engagement through design. This is an opportunity for emerging designers, artists, and scholars to contribute meaningfully to one of the nation’s most significant monuments to civil rights!
Prize
The winning proposal will receive a total of $7,500 USD to fund the design, fabrication, and installation of their exhibit. In addition, the residency provides fully covered round trip airfare (coach class) to and from New York City and lodging accommodations for three nights. Travel accommodations will be at the full discretion of Pride Live.
