The Department of Physics and Astronomy Artist in Residence Program provides undergraduate and graduate students
in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences with
an opportunity to submit research projects that respond to
physics and astronomy research from visual arts, literary, film,
performance, music composition, and design perspectives.
Currently open to English, film studies, music, studio arts, theatre
arts, and architectural studies majors and minors, the program
allows students to embed themselves in a Department of Physics
and Astronomy research lab or group to envision and produce a
response that connects to the scientific research. Once selected,
the artists/composers spend time each week with the research
group and create a unique work, body of work, composition, or set
of compositions in response.
