Description of Facebook’s Artist-in-Residence Program

The Facebook on-campus artist in residency program aims is to bring a diverse range of artists to work on campus with us as a means to energize, inspire, and challenge our community. Our Artist-in-Residence program values the contagious nature of creative production. For this reason the program heavily favors on-site and site specific work over pre-fabricated or ready made images/objects. We also are very conscious of the art history of Facebook, the artistic fodder of our product, and the factors that drive the community to disrupt the sterile nature of the office environment and own their visual space today. Artist’s relevance to these realities are heavily considered in the curatorial process. The Facebook Artist in Residence Program looks to build systems that spark meaningful dialog between visual artists and the Facebook community by providing artists with new work opportunities inspired by process and engagement.
