Guest Artist Pavilion Project (GAPP) - Glass Studio Residency

The Toledo Museum of Art Glass Studio offers an open call for artists of all media to submit proposals for a 1-week residency in the Museum's Glass Pavilion Studio to explore their ideas in glass. Selected artists will have access to all studio facilities and resources with a primary focus on hotshop studio work. Artists are required to work in view of the public for portions of the residency and should be prepared to discuss their work and process in the studio on occasion. Artists are also invited to give a public talk on the Friday evening of their residency. Non-glass artists will be provided with technical assistance to realize their vision in glass.

Selected artists will keep all work that they make, receive a $1,500 honorarium to help with residency-related expenses, and hotel stay will be provided for the course of the residency. Some materials will be provided by the Studio dependent upon availability.

The Toledo Museum's Glass Pavilion opened in 2006 and uniquely combines gallery spaces that display one of the world's great glass collections alongside a dynamic working glass studio. This residency is part of the Toledo Museum of Art's Guest Artist Pavilion Project (GAPP), which brings in all types of artists willing to explore the use of glass in their work and be inspired by the TMA collection, studio facilities, and staff. The program features established and emerging artists residencies, public artist talks, and offers intensive workshops with visiting artists who can share specialized techniques with the community. Applicants must submit 3-5 images of their work. International artists are eligible.
