UETF Announcement!

2024 Resiliency Residency II Artists

In January the UETF Committee selected 34 artists for the Resiliency Residency Program. Fourteen artists are returning from the previous cycle, to continue their projects or dream up entirely new ones, and are joined by twenty artists new to the program.


The artists this cycle span the breadth of artistic disciplines: visual arts, dance and performance, theatre, glass installation, photography, textiles, and more. The themes and investigations vary but overwhelmingly these artists are interested in representing and giving a voice to those who cannot speak—the marginalized and history-forgotten—people, nations, histories, and even the earth.
