An unparalleled experience for UNF art students

The University of North Florida student-in-residence is a highly competitive opportunity that awards access to a MOCA Jacksonville studio and exhibition space to complete a new body of work and hone skills over the course of a final semester. 

Seniors in the Department of Art and Design are encouraged to apply in the spring for this opportunity that occurs during the fall semester. The work completed in the studio is displayed in the fifth-floor Education Gallery.


Congratulations to our 2022 UNF Student Artist-in-Residence Brennan Wojtyla! 

Keep an eye out for details on his upcoming exhibition, which will be on view in the spring of 2023.
