| | | Become a Bruce Museum Artist in Residence!
The Bruce Museum is excited to announce that we are accepting applications for our inaugural Artist-in-Residency program. Through the support of the Art Bridges Foundation, the Bruce Museum will host one Artist-in-Residence for a period of nine months, from November 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024. This initiative will introduce an Artist-in-Residence to the Bruce for the first time in the Museum’s history. This residency includes an educational component, through which we encourage the Artist-in-Residence to facilitate discourse between the exhibition, their practice, and Museum visitors.
Application Deadline: October 7, 2023, at 11:59pm Program Structure
The Artist-in-Residence will work at the Bruce Museum for a period of nine months, from November 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024. The Artist-in-Residence must work on-site at the Bruce Museum for a minimum of 20 hours per week. We invite artists of all types to apply, including (but not limited to) visual artists, sculptors, poets, writers, musicians, and movement practitioners. The selected applicant is expected to fulfill their role as a teaching artist by engaging directly with Bruce Museum visitors and the local community.
Program Benefits The Artist-in-Residence will have the opportunity to generate their own work inside facilities and with materials provided by the Museum. Other benefits include: - A stipend of $35,000 to generate new work which will be displayed within the Museum’s Steven and Alexandra Cohen Education Wing (to be paid in bi-weekly installments over the duration of the residency).
- Reimbursement for the cost of materials (up to $8,000);
- $500 honorarium to present one lecture at the Bruce Museum;

| | | New Workshops for Fall!
Guess what—we’re rolling out a bunch of workshops for fall, including longtime favorites on taxes and marketing plus some NEW offerings, virtual and in-person.
By the way, if a workshop doesn’t fill up with artists from the specific region we’re working in, we will open registration to our larger community in the final two weeks before the workshop date, so don’t hesitate to register even if you don’t live in that region. And remember, if you are a recent Studios at MASS MoCA resident or Capacity Building Program grantee, you have priority access to attend any of these sessions.
