Residency Opportunity @ Noble and Greenough School

       

The Artist in Residence Program at Noble and Greenough School is an
eight-week residential program for visual artists.  The program seeks to
foster collaborative relationships between the artist and the school’s
community of students, faculty and parents.

The artist will live on the Nobles campus, a 187-acre property in Dedham, Mass., and have access to studio space within the visual arts department facilities. The residency will culminate in an exhibition of work at the school’s Foster Gallery. The successful candidate will receive a $2,500 stipend.
Noble and Greenough is a rigorous academic community for students in
grades 7-12.  The school is located 10 miles southwest of Boston and
serves both day and boarding students from the surrounding area.  For

Artist Studios at Mudflat

In our new facility, Mudflat has expanded our studio artist program to
include more clay artists in a broader range of studio spaces and at a
variety of prices. We now have 2 types of artist categories: Resident
Artists and Associate Artists.

  • Resident Artists are professional clay artists who have the
    technical skill and experience to fire their own work in the studio
    kilns. Studios for Resident Artists are private individual spaces or
    shared studios with 1 other artist, or with 3 other artists. Monthly
    rents range from $200-$305 per artist..
  • Associate Artists are serious clay students looking for more
    access, privacy and shelf space. There are 2 large group studios of
    approximately 285 square feet each to be shared by 6 artists each. These
    studios are equipped with a work table and shelving unit for each
    artist plus a central work table and 1 pottery wheel in each studio
    room. Associate Artists’ work will be fired by Mudflat technicians.
    Monthly rents are $225 per artist..

Both Resident Artists and Associate Artists have 24 hour studio
availability, and use of other studio and classroom equipment. The
monthly rent does not include clay materials, glazes or firings, but
clay, glazes and firings may be purchased through Mudflat for additional
fees. A committee reviews all applications based on the following
criteria: Applicant’s level of professionalism, artistic quality of
work, and commitment to the Mudflat community.
