Every year Light Work welcomes one Artist-in-Residence selected in partnership with Autograph. Established in 1988 with the mission of advocating the inclusion of historically marginalized photographic practices, Autograph is a charity that works internationally in photography, cultural identity, race, representation and human rights. They achieve this through formal and informal education programs, exhibitions, publishing, and the creation of an archive of culturally diverse photography that is accessible to the public for research.

Participants in this annual residency use their time to pursue personal projects; photographing in the area, printing for a specific project, or developing an exhibition or publication. They are provided with travel expenses, a stipend for living and production expenses, private darkroom, an apartment and 24-hour access to Light Work’s photo and computer lab facilities.
