Museum of Glass — 2027 Visiting Artist Applications
Overview
Museum of Glass (MOG) is accepting applications for its 2027 Visiting Artist Residency, a program that provides artists with the opportunity to work in the museum's state-of-the-art Hot Shop. Selected artists will have full use of the facility and the assistance of MOG's Hot Shop Team, enabling them to explore new ideas and techniques or advance an existing body of work. The residency is designed to support a wide variety of project scopes, reflecting the museum's commitment to fostering diverse artistic practices. The selection committee strongly encourages proposals that are collaborative in nature or that incorporate artistic ideas across disciplines or materials. Additionally, one project that draws connections between science and art will be awarded the Sheldon Levin Memorial Visiting Artist Residency, a distinct honor within the program. This focus underscores MOG's interest in interdisciplinary inquiry and the expansive potential of glass as a medium. There is no application fee, and the deadline for submissions is November 2, 2026, at midnight PST. The residency offers a rare opportunity for artists to engage with the material and technical expertise of the Hot Shop, without the burden of cost. The museum's curatorial vision emphasizes experimentation, collaboration, and the intersection of art with other fields, making this residency suited for practitioners seeking to expand their practice in a supportive, technically rigorous environment.
