Opportunity Information: Apply for 030ADV23R0033
The Library of Congress is offering a residency-style grant under the program title "Of the People: Widening the Path: Connecting Communities Digital Initiative - Artist or Scholar in Residence." Through this opportunity, the Library plans to support up to two individuals in 2023 who will serve as either Artists in Residence, Scholars in Residence, or a combination of the two roles depending on the applicant's practice. Each selected resident will receive up to $90,000 in support for a one-year term. The main idea is to give recipients the time, space, and financial backing to dig deeply into the Library of Congress's digitized and born-digital collections and to engage directly with the Library's digital services, tools, and platforms.
The residency is designed for people whose work involves research, creative practice, interpretation, experimentation, critique, or cultural analysis. Rather than focusing only on producing a traditional academic output or a standard art exhibition, the program explicitly values exploration and critical engagement. Applicants are encouraged to study the Library's digital materials, test possibilities for new uses of those materials, and/or critique the ways digital collections and services work, especially where technology intersects with culture and public access. In other words, this is a chance to treat the Library's digital collections not just as a source of content, but also as a space to examine how history, knowledge, and cultural memory are represented, organized, and made available in digital form.
A central requirement of the program is that the proposed work should be in service of technological and social possibilities that come from centering communities of color in the United States. The opportunity specifically names Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Asian American or Pacific Islander communities, and also includes other communities of color. Projects can focus on one group, multiple groups, or comparative and intersectional approaches. The program also welcomes projects that explore related dimensions of identity and lived experience such as gender, sexuality, class, colorism, and ability, as long as the work remains grounded in the broader aim of widening pathways to digital engagement and representation for these communities.
Eligibility is limited to individuals, not organizations, which means independent artists, independent scholars, and practitioners applying on their own are an intended audience. The Library defines "artist" and "scholar" broadly, and the call is open to a wide range of fields and methods. Examples of eligible types of applicants include visual and conceptual artists, dancers and other performing artists, journalists, cultural critics, independent and academic scholars, and cultural heritage practitioners such as librarians and others working with archives and collections. This broad definition signals that the Library is interested in cross-disciplinary approaches, including work that blends creative production with scholarship, community-based knowledge with institutional collections, or critical theory with digital experimentation.
Administratively, this is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Library of Congress, offered as a cooperative agreement. That typically implies a more collaborative relationship with the funding agency than a simple grant, often involving some level of coordination, shared learning, or ongoing engagement during the project period. The opportunity number is 030ADV23R0033, and it is associated with CFDA number 42.012. The posting lists an expected total of two awards, each with a ceiling of $90,000, and a one-year period of performance for each resident. The opportunity was created on May 17, 2023, with an application deadline of August 7, 2023 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Additional rules, required application materials, selection criteria, and deliverable expectations are referenced as being available in the attached Notice of Funding Opportunity.Apply for 030ADV23R0033
