BIPOC Residency at Corning Museum of Glass

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Color) Residency is an extension of The Studio's Artist-in-Residence program. Through this dedicated residency, the Museum aims to assist underrepresented artists while actively fostering a culture and community of inclusion that promotes, respects, and celebrates diversity. Artists spend five weeks 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. Applicants who identify as BIPOC artists are welcome to apply for this residency and for our other residencies. Artists will benefit from the just-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 resident. 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. Selected applicants are invited for a five-week-long residency during the year. 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 in The Studio.
