Research-based Art Practices 

For some artists, research doesn't just inform their work, but research is the material, an essential component of its content. Whether you call your art a "research-based practice" or not, library research can provide context and theoretical concepts in your studio practice. Researching and critically thinking about art will help you write about your work, apply to residencies, and share your work with others.
