Artists
Each year, visiting artists collaborate with the Center for the Arts through residencies, research, and interdisciplinary projects that expand creative practice across campus.
At the core of the Center for the Arts' programming is our partnership with visiting artists. Together, we create opportunities to incubate new work and expand existing practices, while building new knowledge alongside faculty, students, and staff who collaborate with us on creative research in and outside of the classroom.

As the 2025–26 Artist in Residence, brooks will develop new interdisciplinary projects in partnership with students and faculty, including workshops, performances, and public conversations that center somatic knowledge and radical presence.
