About

The Division of the Arts’ Interdisciplinary Artist-in-Residence Teaching (IART) Program is made possible through UW–Madison’s Cluster Hiring Initiative. The program brings innovative, world-class artists to campus for a semester-long residency. Residencies are sponsored by two or more departments or units.

IART supports residencies for the benefit of all arts units at UW–Madison. While in residence, artists teach an interdisciplinary course and participate in community outreach. Additionally, artists present at least one free public event. The program gives students exposure to working artists and provides course credit. It also strengthens connections on campus and in the community.

Since 1999, we have hosted 40 residencies involving more than 60 university units and community organizations.

Starting in the fall of 2022, the Division’s artist-in-residence program will move to a full academic year structure.

Call for Proposals

The call for 2022-23 IART program proposals is now closed.

Please visit the How to Propose a Residency webpage for important information, including how to submit your proposal.

“I learned that being an art major or a professional artist is not a requirement for getting important ideas across with art! I was able to create a piece with a meaningful message and share it with others regardless of my previous experience with art.”
