Established in 1995, the ITE program has received generous endowment funds from the Windgate Charitable Foundation. Renamed the Windgate ITE International Residency, it is comprised of an 8-week, interactive program during which the seven resident fellows live and work together at the University of the Arts (UArts), in Philadelphia, PA, US. The residency runs from June through the first week of August each year.The Windgate ITE International Residency is a collegial experience in which the artists work in the studio together resulting in an open exchange of creative and technical innovations. Artists are encouraged to pursue both individual and collaborative work that is explorative and experimental. The photojournalist will document the residents’ experience using the medium of their choice. As with the other residents, exploration and experimentation are encouraged and the photojournalist is free to pursue artistic as well as documentary projects. The scholar/educator joins the group for one week mid-residency to explore personal research, engage in open discussions; and conduct interviews with the residents about their backgrounds and experimentation during the residency. The intention for this exchange is to stimulate scholarly dialog among the residents as well as provide the basis for a written reflection.
