diverse expressions residency

The Diverse Expressions Residency is an extension of The Studio's Artist-in-Residence program. Through this dedicated residency, the Museum aims to welcome underrepresented artists while actively fostering a culture and community of inclusion that promotes, respects, and celebrates diversity.

Artists spend five weeks at The Studio exploring new directions in glassmaking or expanding on their current bodies of work while using the immense resources of the world’s leading glass museum.

Artists will benefit from the Wendell Weeks & Kim Frock Residency Center, which features seven studios surrounding a light-filled lounge that will be a hub for creative exchange and connection among residents.

Selected applicants are invited for a five-week-long residency during the year. During the residency, artists will make their own work and are invited to give a presentation about their artistic practice or process during a free public event in The Studio.

The Diverse Expression Residency has supported four residents since its founding. Alumni completed the program under its previous name but are recognized today as part of the Diverse Expressions Residency community.
