2025 Museum of Glass Visiting Artist
November 2nd, 2024
Each year, Museum of Glass (MOG) invites artists to apply for a Visiting Artist Residency in the Hot Shop to explore new ideas and techniques or push the boundaries of a current series. Selected artists have full use of our state-of-the-art Hot Shop and the assistance of MOG's Hot Shop Team. Applications will be selected to support a wide variety of project scopes, including one project that draws connects between science and art, which will be awarded the Sheldon Levin Memorial Visiting Artist Residency (details below).
Sheldon Levin Memorial Application Visiting Artist Residency
Sheldon Levin started his volunteer career with Museum of Glass as a charter docent, participating in the first docent and volunteer training in 2002. He quickly started emceeing on Thursdays in the Hot Shop interpreting glassblowing techniques, helping thousands of visitors understand the art of glassblowing from both artistic and scientific perspectives. To honor his memory, Museum of Glass invites artists who are inspired by connections between art and science to apply for the Sheldon Levin Memorial Application Visiting Artist Residency.
