Residency on my Back

Residency on my Back is an residency program of ultra-condensed length that provides opportunities for diverse individuals to experience the world from a slightly elevated position. Support from Residency on my Back principally comes in the form of a piggyback ride and living stipend for the duration of the ride.

The program is currently on hiatus, but may be re-offered again at any time. Past jurors for Residency on My Back have included Glen Helfand and Ted Purves. Four discrete residency periods have been awarded, with a total of five practitioners benefiting from the generosity of Residency on my Back donors.

When callouts are open, applications to Residency on my Back are permitted on a rolling basis. Applicants pay $1 USD to make an application: the total money from applications is given to the resident artists as their living stipend.
