The Museum of Arts and Design announces an open call for applications, seeking artists, designers, and makers for the Artist Studios, a unique educational demonstration space in the museum.\u00a0 The studios are open for the public to interact informally with artists during regular museum hours.<\/p>\n
Through a rotation of makers working across disciplines in the Artist Studios, the museum fosters an open dialogue between maker and museum visitor, creating opportunities for audiences of all backgrounds to strengthen and enrich their personal connection to the processes and techniques of contemporary creativity. This program aspires to provide learning, dialogue and participation for the museum visitor while providing a platform for emerging and mid-career artists.<\/p>\n
