Established in 2015, the Jacob Lawrence Legacy Residency invites Black artists at all stages of their careers to have a residency during the month of January to develop new work and an exhibition during the month of February and March. This allows artists, students, faculty, and staff to engage in dialogue as new work is incubated.
