The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx) creates and manages residencies at the intersections of arts, humanities, science and technology at Oregon State University. Our residencies take many shapes—from unplugged solo retreats in the woods to collaborative projects in research labs, field stations and interdisciplinary settings. We work with each resident to co-create an experience that is supportive and generative.

Whether you are a musician or visual artist fascinated by the idea of long-term engagement with a science or engineering lab, a writer craving a couple of weeks at a quiet cabin, or a humanities scholar wanting to bring together a dream team of collaborators, we invite you to browse our opportunities, explore our residency locations and learn about our initiatives to find the residencies or fellowships that meet your needs. 

Our open submissions are listed below.
