The Morgan’s Artist in Residence (AIR) program is funded by the Windgate Foundation to offer emerging and established artists working with papermaking, book arts, and printing to explore focused projects in our facilities. As a working studio, gallery, gathering place for the community, educational hub, and purveyor of some of the finest handmade papers in the world, the Morgan offers AIR a variety of ways to grow their practice and build strong connections with the community.
Artists accepted into the program will receive stipend amounts, 24-hour access to Morgan facilities, and more!
Beginning in 2024, the Morgan is pleased to partner with ATNSC, which can offer housing for BIPOC Morgan Artists in Residence. Housing availability is dependent on schedule. We are grateful to ATNSC for their inspiring vision and generosity, and the ability to join in creating environments of artistic growth, hospitality, and care during a place-based experience in our Cleveland community.
