Within the “open studio” format, artists-in-residence welcome dialogue around concepts, materials, and processes, offering museumgoers the exciting chance to meet working artists while providing residents with the remarkable opportunity to actively participate in the public’s engagement with their work. Founded in 2008, the program has served over 160 artists and designers to date.
