MASS MoCA’s Assets for Artists department knows that artists are key contributors to vibrant communities and thriving economies.
- Through our residency program, The Studios at MASS MoCA, we give visiting artists from around the world the time and space for their own creative development, be it in project execution, reflection, or to simply try something new.
- Through our workshops and capacity-building program, we advocate for artists’ needs, redistribute resources, and create opportunities for artists to be in community, engage in peer-learning, and obtain tools for navigating the challenges of our current economic system while simultaneously shaping a more equitable one
- We’re especially committed to artists who live in or move to our hometown by providing individual grants and community-building initiatives.
