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.

A Powerful Place
Led by artist Kieran Sequoia, A Powerful Place seeks to consider the role “place” plays in our individual lives by acknowledging and honoring the experiences of the people who surround us.
