About the organization
The Museum of Glass, located in Tacoma, Washington, opened in 2002 as a dedicated institution for the medium of glass. Founded on the belief that glass is a dynamic contemporary art material, the museum combines exhibition galleries, a working hot shop, and educational programs. Its core mission is to advance the art of glass through exhibitions, live demonstrations, and artist residencies, fostering a deeper understanding of the material's expressive potential.

Artists applying for the Visiting Artist program should demonstrate a clear, innovative approach to glass that leverages the museum's unique hot shop environment. Proposals should articulate how the residency would advance their practice and engage the public. The selection committee values technical proficiency, conceptual rigor, and a willingness to experiment. Applications typically require a project description, images of recent work, and a resume. It is advisable to research past residents to understand the program's scope and expectations.
