For over two decades, MASS MoCA has been one of the nation’s most productive venues for nurturing and creating new art — especially art which requires sophisticated equipment, generous spaces, and extended time — by offering excellent infrastructure and top-notch professional support and facilities. Over 500 artists have participated in extensive artist-in-residence and technical workshops including Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, William Kentridge, Helga Davis, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne/Fatboy Slim/Annie B. Parson, and many others.
In response to the new needs of artists in the wake of COVID-19, MASS MoCA has committed to dramatically expand our residency program over the coming year, providing time and space for artists to explore and create. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes glimpses into the art-making process as we redouble our commitment to artists during this time of crisis.
