The Unstable Design Lab hosts an annual experimental weaving residency to serve two goals:

1. to create a space where artists and researchers can mutually benefit from sharing knowledge and ideas.
2. to use this residency as a model to inform future practices of engaging artists within programs of academic research.

After a successful launch in 2019 with artist Sandra Wirtanen and funding from the Center for Craft’s Materials-Based Research Grant, we have secured additional funding to offer residencies in 2021, 2022 and 2023. If you are interested in applying, stay posted to our as we announce our open calls.
