Beginning in June 2026, ICA San Diego will welcome San Diego-based artist Eden DeLaVara as the ICA Artist-in-Residence (AiR) for the upcoming residency year. ICA San Diego will support her with a year-long residency, providing space and resources to develop new work.
Residency Program
ICA San Diego’s residency program is designed to provide professional development support to artists living in San Diego County and Northern Baja California. The 2026 artist-in-residence will receive a year of free studio space, a $2,000 stipend, a $500/month materials budget, and mentorship from the ICA’s curatorial team. In addition, the artist-in-residence will also have the opportunity to exhibit in a solo show at ICA North that aligns with the 2026-2027 exhibition theme of nostalgia and speculative futurism titled The Hours Have Lost Their Clocks. Artwork storage and transportation is provided by the generous support of ArtWorks San Diego.
It is expected that the artist-in-residence will use their time to create or complete an innovative and thoughtfully-produced body of work for exhibition at ICA San Diego. Artists-in-residence may also be asked to contribute to, or participate in, public programming relating to the residency and/or their exhibition.
ICA San Diego’s Residency program is made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation and ArtWorks San Diego.
2025
