Residency Program Mission

Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington’s mission is to enrich community life by connecting the public with contemporary art and artists through exhibitions, education and public programs, and artist residences.

The museum’s Artist in Residence Program supports emerging and mid-career professional contemporary artists by offering a unique platform for exposure and connection, affordable studio space, and time to develop their practices. Through short- and long-term studio residencies, the program fosters lasting relationships among artists, providing a cohort experience, support and opportunities to test new ideas, exhibit work, and engage in dialogue with curators, peers and the public.
