Transit Residency is a unique artist residency program founded in 2010 by Meredith Winer (MFA Book & Paper, 2005). Rather than having a space ourselves, we partner with organizations and facilities that have the desire to host artists-in-residence but have neither the funding nor staff to do this on their own. We offer both inbound and outbound programs, both bringing creatives to Chicago to be “plugged in” to existing arts communities, and sending Chicago-based creatives out to make work elsewhere, and showcase the work of our Artists-in-Residence through workshops, lectures and exhibitions throughout Chicago and beyond. www.transitresidency.org
October 2015 is DCASE’s 20th celebration of Chicago Artists Month. This year’s theme is “City As Studio” — Transit Residency’s inbound programs always use the city of Chicago as their studio. www.chicagoartistsmonth.org
