Get matched →The Art Center seeks to award year-long residencies to eight artists (two cohorts of four) in 2026 and 2027. The Radicle is the first part of a seedling to burst forth from a seed, rooting itself deeply into the earth. The goal is to root artists for a year at the Art Center through free sunlit studio space, access to the Art Center's international network, and connection with a dynamic public.

The jury evaluates applications based on: evidence of commitment to artistic practice; potential for significant impact on artistic and professional development; how the artist's practice engages the Hyde Park Art Center community; and how the artist's practice advances equity, liberation, and social justice in Chicago. All criteria are considered equally.
