Zymoglyphic Museum Bio-Art Residency and Scholarship (Due Nov. 15)
Zymoglyphic Museum Bio-Art Residency and Scholarship
Deadline: November 15th, 2025
The Zymoglyphic Museum is sponsoring a Bio-Art residency with a 50% scholarship!
They are looking for projects at the intersection of art and biology, particularly:
- Works that incorporate small living organisms (or their products) such as microbes, slime molds, fungus, moss, freshwater creatures, arthropods (especially ants and bees), bio plastics, and soil samples.
- Field biology projects that double as art projects
This project is oriented to experimenting with new media; we are avoiding standard 2D media such as painting, drawing, and illustration.
Timing options:
1. One or two week onsite residency
- Studio and sleeping accommodations available
2. Extended part-time residency
- Flexible schedule for a longer term project
- No onsite accommodations or studio space
Unlike the Ponder residency, it is expected that you will complete a project that will have documentation that can be presented online. However, it is also understood that experiments may fail!

Other possibilities include soil chromatography, mycelium projects, and terraria (or other habitats) created with both aesthetics and biological viability in mind.
