Indiana University Bloomington is the flagship campus of IU’s eight campuses statewide.

Innovation, creativity, and academic freedom are hallmarks of our world-class contributions in

research and in the arts. Just 50 miles southwest of Indianapolis with over 40,000 students, the

University of Indiana Bloomington is the arts and cultural hub of the Midwest. While IU's amazing

arts and entertainment offerings play a large role in the city's cultural atmosphere, Bloomington is

extraordinary in its own right. Bloomington residents and IU students, faculty, and staff form a

vibrant, active community that benefits from the metropolitan qualities of a large city and the easy

pace of a small town.

The Department of Studio Art, founded in 1895, is one of the premier art schools in the country. The

School offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in Studio Art. Studio areas include ceramics,

drawing and painting, graphic design, metalsmithing and jewelry design, digital media/computer

arts, photography, textiles, printmaking, and sculpture.

Studio space, lodging and a $4,000 USD honorarium will be provided for each position. The

program will reimburse travel up to $2000. Other studio expenses will be the responsibility of the

successful applicant.
