There are no current artist opportunities at the Children’s Museum at this time. 


TOUGH ART UPDATE:
2026 is the Tough Art residency’s 20th year! We will have a special format to commemorate this milestone and as a result, will not hold an open call for 2026.  The standard Tough Art residency open call will return in December 2026.
