Description

Exemplifying the spirit of UrbanGlass' mission, the residency fosters experimentation and advances the critical understanding of glass as a creative medium. The program offers three artists a $5,000 budget to be used for scheduled studio rentals and classes, $500 of which may be allocated for materials. At the end of their residency, the artists will present their work, discuss their practice, and connect with the greater UrbanGlass community with an artist-talk or similar public program. UrbanGlass’ 17,000-square-foot state-of-the-art glass studio offers a complete glassworking studio with a hot shop, cold shop, flameworking studio, neon shop, mold shop, and kiln shop. Residents may make use of any or all of these areas of the studio. Previous residents include Tomoko Abe, Deborah Czeresko, Josefina Muñoz, and Denzel Russell, among many others.
