The Studio’s Artist-in-Residence program brings artists from around the world to Corning, New York. Artists spend focused time 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 recently completed 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.
The Studio facility is equipped for furnace working, flameworking, kiln working, and cold working processes, and can support other glassworking and fabrication methods upon request. Transportation, as well as room and board, is provided to those awarded residencies. A generous supply budget and studio space are provided to each artist. Residents have access to the Rakow Research Library, the extensive collection of The Corning Museum of Glass, and expert Museum staff. A residency manager serves as a liaison to additional services in Corning and at the Museum.
New Residency Times and Durations
As The Studio expands, so do opportunities for artists. The Studio is pleased to announce an extended residency period of up to eight weeks and year-round scheduling options for the Artist-in-Residence program. This longer residency has been designed to give artists the opportunity to spend more time working at The Studio, exploring the collection, and researching at The Rakow Research Library to accelerate their practice. 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 at The Studio.
