MASS MoCA invites Full-Time Faculty Artists to apply for a free two-week summer residency at the Studios at MASS MoCA.
Much of the two-week residency will be unstructured time to focus on making new work and connecting with your fellow artists-in-residence, but we are seeking participants who want–in addition to the regular benefits of a residency opportunity–to join in both facilitated and informal conversations about acquiring and teaching professional practices that will support emerging artists throughout their careers. We are interested in hearing from participants about their experiences and observations concerning the skills and strategies that young artists are learning–and not learning–about career development and financial sustainability while in a university program. We hope to foster dialogue that will help the participants to strengthen their teaching and advising in these areas, and help them gain new knowledge and skills, while also informing our team about how we might be able to help meet the needs of students and recent graduates with professional development services delivered through our "Assets for Artists" program.
