Each quarter, Visible Studio hosts two Designers-in-Residence.

Visible Studio Residency candidates are from historically underinvested communities, with priority placed on serving the most underrepresented groups in design: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. 

Our Residents are paid to ensure that participation in the program is accessible and equitable.

Each Residency Cohort spans three months and each Resident is paid an honorarium of $7,200 ($15/hour).
