Artists in Residence
The Artists in Residence program is at the heart of creativity at Medalta. Artists from all over the world come to Medalta for lengths of time from one day to one year to make in a community that validates risk and nurtures creativity.
We offer One-Month, FLEX (2+ months), and Year Long residencies. Our international program invites artists from all stages in their careers: emerging, mid-career, established, and interdisciplinary. At Medalta we encourage artists to utilize our studio space and facilities to explore new aspects of their practice, develop material research, and expand the field of contemporary ceramics.
As an organization, The Friends of Medalta Society has been a leader in developing creative pathways in museology, social enterprise, and community engagement.

Artist Opportunities
Workshops
In addition to our Artist in Residence program, we offer workshops throughout the year. These workshops are led by artists with expertise in various ceramic techniques and are suitable for the intermediate and accomplished artists alike. They’re a great way to be inspired and stay connected with fellow clay enthusiasts from around the world while experiencing the Medalta community.
