Introducing Our 2026 Summer Residents
Meet our 2026 Summer Residents, a talented group of artists who will spend the summer at GoggleWorks exploring new directions in their practice. Throughout their time here, theyāll have the opportunity to experiment, innovate, and push boundaries within our vibrant community.
Their journey will culminate in an exciting exhibition with a reception on August 7th from 6-8pm, where theyāll share their latest works and creative explorations with the public. This exhibition is a celebration of their unique voices, processes, and the transformative power of art. We invite you to join us and experience the results of their artistic adventures!
