Artist Residencies
Artist Residencies
The Bubbler Artist-in-Residence Program was developed in 2013 as a programmatic pillar within the Madison Public Library. The residency model was originally designed to host a new artist every two months, allowing them space and time to experiment while further exploring their community and their practice. We love that it continues to evolve over time, allowing for residencies in more libraries throughout the Madison community! The goals of the program include:
Offering an open space for the public to learn, share, and create through various, ever-changing mediums
Providing professional development and support for teaching artists and experts in the community
Connecting artists to the community and the community to artists through hands-on learning and exploration
We regularly open applications for residencies. Find current opportunities for artists.
