2023-2024 Residencies Studios at MASS MoCA

The Studios at MASS MoCA

No Funding
Free / No Costs
North Adams, United States

Eligibility

We welcome applications from artists in all career stages, income levels, and disciplines (painters, sculptors, installation artists, fiber artists, printmakers, writers, performers, designers, photographers, filmmakers, etc.) whose practice allows them to work quietly (nothing is sound-proofed, so power tools and loud music are discouraged). Groups/collectives may apply to work on joint projects. The studios have light-duty ventilation, so an art practice generating strong fumes cannot be accommodated. Fully-funded fellowships are available, including General Fellowships (for anyone expressing financial need), Black or Indigenous Artist Fellowships, and the new Massachusetts Family Fellowship. We also have fellowships for Oregon artists and a plethora of University-sponsored Fellowships. As always, it is free to apply. Interested applicants can find out more information on our website to read more about what our program offers and the qualifications for the fellowships.

Number of Participants

Operated by MASS MoCA’s Assets for Artists department, the residency runs year-round and hosts up to 10 artists at a time. Artists of any nationality can apply for stays of 2 or 4 weeks.
