Residencies

The MOM Art Annex Residency Program is open to those students, artists, and scholars engaged in the study of women, mothers, reproductive identities, and families from an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective. MoM conducts remote residencies.

IN-PERSON CURATORIAL RESIDENCIES: In January 2026 we are aiming to open a new opportunity for an Artist-in-Residence who would like to receive deeply discounted fees on living accommodations for 1-3 months at a time in exchange for fulfilling the Program Manager/Curatorial Residency.

• A strong communicator and natural organizer with an ability to be responsive via text & phone during regular hours and special events
• Able to be absolutely on-time if not early for work hours, events and appointments
• Highly responsible team leader with a passion for women’s issues, art, herstory, and cultural change. Able to problem-solve onsite at MoM: keys, equipment, exhibits, etc.
• Comfortable working in-person in a dynamic, mission-driven space
• Available at least 12 (3 hrs Thurs, 6 hrs Sat & 3 hrs Sun) hours per week

REMOTE RESIDENCIES: Remote residencies are open to all participants, local and international wising to work with MoM in a supportive setting. Participants are guided through their residency process by working closely with a MoM staff person on a specific project. As part of this process, a featured exhibit, piece of artwork or writing are exhibited online at MoM. Most remote residencies take place from one month to one academic semester.

All Applicants Both In-Person and Remote – Expectations:

Applicants must go through a vetting process in order to best determine compatibility with the guest artist or academic residency program. We are looking for valuable, longterm relationships to invest in. Therefore we request the following from our Residency Participants:

• Join the Society of Mother Studies. Your support is paramount.
• Send us photos and info so we can create a 500 blog describing your perspective and goals as an artist or scholar and what your work is about. Send to us via email along with your photo to be posted online prior to Residency. INFO@MOMmuseum.org once your residency has been approved.
• Tag us on social media. Then, complete a minimum of social media posts with images or text to be shared online FB, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest.
