The UCLA Film & Television Archive’s artist-in-residence program will host an emerging artist for two weeks during the late spring of 2026 to activate the Archive collection in their artistic practice. This year’s AIR will work exclusively with one or a combination of three specific collections: The Hearst Metrotone News Collection (1914-1968), In the Life LGBTQ+ Collection, and KTLA Newsfilm Collection (1958-1981). The program will provide the artist with the time and support necessary to access and work with these unique collections, creating a project that will reach new audiences and make connections with Los Angeles’ cultural community.
Application deadline: Friday November 14, 2025, 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
