The South Bend Museum of Art Summer Undergraduate Residency is an immersive museum experience tailored for Indiana undergraduates studying the fine arts. Our mission is to provide structure, opportunity, and support for local undergraduate fine artists to further their artistic endeavors while becoming immersed in our local art community. Residents are provided the opportunity to engage in various aspects of the museum studies, including curatorial, development, visitor experience, outreach, and education. Throughout the summer, undergraduates receive open studio passes that grant them access to work in each studio at the SBMA, including our darkroom, weaving studios, 2-D + 3-D courses, ceramics, and metals. Residents will receive monthly group critiques with special guest critics as well as bi-weekly individual meetings with our Curators of Education. Our summer program provides opportunities for personal and professional growth, leadership, networking, and artistic vision culminating in a group exhibition the following Spring in our Crowley Community Gallery.
Residents are required to participate and volunteer in events over the course of the summer. Volunteer hours/duties may vary. All residents are requested to be available for our First Friday events and Artbeat.
Any college undergraduate majoring or minoring in fine arts majors are open to apply. All college residents must reside in South Bend, Indiana during the months of June, July, and early August.
