Mobile Artist in Residence

Supporting Artistic Practices Around New Mexico

About the Program

The Mobile Artist in Residence (MAiR) program is all about bringing art out into the community. Using the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s Art to G.O. Truck as a traveling studio, artists spend six weeks connecting with neighborhoods, schools, and/or local partners. Instead of focusing on polished outcomes, the residency is about process: workshops, conversations, and creative experiments that grow out of the people and places they meet. Inspired by O’Keeffe’s spirit of curiosity and independence, the program makes space for collaboration, reflection, and play, meeting folks where they are and inviting everyone into the creative process.

Extreme close-up view of the socket of a pelvic bone - the white of the bone filling to three corners of the canvas. Through the hole, centered in the middle, is seen a blue sky with a pale and transparent almost full moon in the upper left of the opening. A sliver of blue is also in the lower right corner where the bone curves in.
