The Studios at MASS MoCA in collaboration with the Berkshire Immigrant Center started a new program called Iris Residency for artists (18+) from all disciplines living in Western Massachusetts who are foreign-born or identify as first or second generation Americans. Two artists will be selected for a four-week residency in February 2023 at MASS MoCA Studios. The program is completely free of charge and artists will have access 24/7 to studio space, private room in a shared apartment, and financial support for transportation costs, materials, and food, among other benefits.
All information about the Iris Residency is in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and can be found here. Applications can be sent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese as well, and if assistance with another language is required, applicants can contact luiza@berkshireic.org
Deadline for applications is September 15, 2022
