As Chicago Park District Arts Partners in Residence, Khecari trades public programming for studio use. Every February we offer our alloted time in the studio at Indian Boundary Cultural Center with BIPOC/ALAANA* artists in our community. We have a simple application process open to the public and choose the resident by lottery. This year's resident is Dare Azizi. This residency offers a no-tech, studio practice space with a residency stipend equal to Khecari’s equal-pay-for-all hourly rate, currently $21/hr for 2025, and a no-tech work-in-progress showing at the end. Please sign up for our newsletter to get notifications for the next application round.

*We understand that the BIPOC/ALAANA nomenclature can be insufficient and welcome your comments on how we can better represent this as indentity language shifts. Our intention is to let it continually evolve based on the desires from the community.
** We welcome all people with disabilities to our events. If you require a specific access service to fully participate or have any questions about accessibility, contact Julia Antonick at [email protected]. Please be in touch as soon as you know you would like to join us so we can make sure we have the accommodations ready for you on the day you will attend.
*** TRIGGER WARNING: In addition to the fact that the name “Indian Boundary” denotes a line created to ethnically cleanse the area, there is also imagery within the fieldhouse that may be triggering to many, in particular to Native Americans and Jews. We want to notify people in advance as a trigger warning, and to affirm Khecari’s anti-racist stance.
