Emerging Artists in Residence

Oct 2 - Nov 12, 2024

The Emerging Artist in Residence (EAiR) program supports knowledgeable artists who are making a transition in their professional lives. Whether moving from academia to a professional studio practice, taking up a new medium, or beginning a new body of work, artists find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. The program provides artists with space and the time to develop an idea, project, or new body of work in glass.

Emerging Artists in Residence

About

The Emerging Artist in Residence (EAiR) program supports knowledgeable artists who are making a transition in their professional lives. Whether moving from academia to a professional studio practice, taking up a new medium, or beginning a new body of work, artists find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. The program provides artists with space and the time to develop an idea, project, or new body of work in glass.

The EAiR program began in 1992 and serves artists working with glass. The 2024 cohort will be artists from around the world; selected by the jury and our partner organizations.

We will offer a designated residency spot for a promising BIPOC artist. We will also host an exceptional emergent Norwegian artist selected by the Norwegian Crafts in an exchange funded by the American Scandinavian Foundation and the 2023 Ukraine Glass Prize awardee.

The residency requires a specific project proposal that tells how you will use your time on campus. Our studios for kiln-working, coldworking, printmaking, flameworking and use of mixed media are available for residents, but hot glass working is not included. Although supported by coordinator(s), the EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, so no instruction is available, and glassmaking experience is required. Similarly, the school has a Bot Lab for machine assisted fabrication available for independent use for those trained and orientated. Neon is available on a limited basis, please do not submit a proposal based on neon alone.

The residency requires full-time participation by all artists. Visiting curators and the Artistic Director will provide technical and critical feedback plus opportunities for field trips. Residents are expected to partake in communal studio clean-ups and be responsible and courteous studio citizens.

All residents will receive a stipend of US $2,000 per artist and travel reimbursement. On campus, they will share open studio space and cooking facilities with their cohort and be lodged in their own private room with shared bath. Materials, instruction, and food are not provided for residents.

This residency is funded by Norwegian Crafts, American Scandinavian Foundation, the Ukraine Young Artist Award, individual donors, and a generous multi-year gift from Chihuly Studio and Chihuly Garden and Glass aimed at supporting Pilchuck’s operations, the needs of its artist community, and its work towards greater diversity, equity, access, and inclusion.

2025 Residents

Emerging Artist in Residence

Lindsy Marshall

Lindsy Marshall is an artist and maker living in Massachusetts. Discovering glass while studying at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, it has come to be a prominent material in her work. She’s studied at institutions such as Pilchuck Glass School and Pittsburg Glass Center. Her work has been shown in notable exhibitions such as Bullseye’s Emerge 2018 and Contemporary Glass Sculpture with New Bedford Art Museum. Lindsy spends much of her time focused on experimentation and exploration pushing the limits of what is possible with the material and creating work that is unrecognizably inspired by nature, life, and the body.

Emerging Artist in Residence

María Naidich

María Naidich is a practice-based researcher working mainly with sculpture and installation. Her installations are built around fiction, speculative narratives, archaeology-inspired methods, and references to non-Western cosmologies in relation to nature. Her installations involve texts, glass sculptures, ceramics, assemblages of found objects and materials, light, and sound. Her practice addresses topics related to stones, water, the concept of nature, and the dichotomies derived from an anthropocentric understanding of nature, such as the alive/inert and natural/artificial distinctions. She is a PhD candidate at UNAM in Mexico, where she is currently developing research on geological and artistic glass and the mutability of this material within the discussion of the natural and the artificial.

Emerging Artist in Residence

Kaitlin Reed

Kate Reed is a Boston-based designer leveraging principles of nature to build wearable technology that connects humans, computers, with the natural world. These wearables harness human biological input and output methods through the combination of digital craft, experimental interfaces, and augmented materials. Reed built her first wearable computer when she was 13, before the introduction of the Apple Watch. Since then, she has designed, engineered, and built over a hundred wearable computers. After becoming the first graduate of NuVu Studio, Reed received dual undergraduate degrees from Brown University and The Rhode Island School of Design. She also holds Masters in Science from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy. Reed's pioneering spirit led her to establish the Artist and Researcher in Residency program at Dassault Systems, where she developed algorithms mirroring nature's processes, fostering predictable growth in computational spaces. Continuing her focus on integrating living organisms into technology, she created the Artist in Residency position at BosLab, employing synthetic biology to revolutionize material modification. As a visionary technologist, Reed specializes in building machines, modifying biology, augmenting the body, and growing technology. She champions a symbiotic relationship between technology and nature, advocating for the digital evolution of the natural world, and the natural evolution of the digital world.

Emerging Artist in Residence

Yue Wu

Born into a family of glass artists, which founded Wu Zixiong Glass Art Museum, Wu began to learn glass carving art and other crafts at the age of nine and travelled frequently around the world with his father. This experience became an important influence and source for his artistic creations. Graduated from Ecole Supérieure d’Art et Design Le Havre-Rouen in France. In 2017, he founded Yue Studio, exploring and innovating both the contemporary glass sculpture and contemporary art. Giants, childhood, cities and the frontiers of consciousness seem to him to be metaphors as well as sources of creativity. He focused on personal memories and on the fields that affect the psyche, introducing these processes of tracing human fragments in his works.
