Press Release: Artists in Residence 2021-2022 - American Museum of Ceramic Art

Overview

AMOCA's Artist in Residence program 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 while also participating in AMOCA's programs.
