CMCM Artist in Residence

The Artist in Residence program is designed to host emerging artists by giving them an opportunity to experiment and develop new modes of working and thinking around public media.

The mission of CMCM’s residency program is to provide a productive and participatory workspace to foster dialog, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary interaction. By offering a residency program open to local, national, and international cultural artists, CMCM seeks to facilitate the exchange of ideas within and beyond the Bay Area artistic community.
