About the Program
The Artist in Residence Program, established in 2012, is one of the few long-term fellowship opportunities for ceramic artists on the West Coast. Located an hour from the desert, mountains, and beaches of Southern California and forty minutes east of Los Angeles, the residency provides artists an opportunity to produce or develop a new body of work.
Featured Artists
Stephanie Kim creates large-scale busts exploring Korean American identity, blending traditional Korean motifs with modern subject matter. Reniel Del Rosario creates site-specific installations of hand-built clay and ceramic objects that explore value—cultural, monetary, and historical. Michelle Solorzano creates figurative ceramic sculptures with mixed media exploring cultural identity, colonization, immigration, and Dominican heritage.
- Theme
- Three ceramic artists showcase work created during their studio residencies, exploring cultural identity, Korean American heritage, the nature of value and mass production, and Dominican immigration and assimilation through figurative sculptures, installations, and mixed-media pieces.
