The artist-in-residence program is a critical component of the Addison Gallery of American Art's exhibition and education programming. Three to six artists are invited to campus each year to engage students and the community. Artists-in-residence variously produce art on campus, exhibit in the galleries, give public talks, critique student work, use students as their subjects, and/or lead discussions with students from Phillips Academy and area public high schools. Residencies range in duration from several months, to a series of short visits, to a few days.
The Addison residency program began in 1946 with Charles Sheeler. It continued informally until 1982 when it was endowed through the generosity of Phillips Academy alumnus Edward E. Elson. The Addison's Elson artist-in-residency program has energetically supported contemporary art by bringing established and emerging artists to campus to create and exhibit work as well as engage with students.
Participating artists have included Frank Stella, Robert Frank, Alison Saar, Joel Shapiro, Robert Hudson, Richard Shaw, Kerry James Marshall, Dawoud Bey, Glen Seator, Tony Feher, Jose Bedia, James Casebere, Anna Gaskell, Andrea Zittel, Jessica Stockholder, Lee Mingwei, Trisha
