Bunker Projects Residency Program

Pittsburgh, PA, United States

Bunker Projects' Residency Program provides an enriching environment for both local artists and visiting creatives from across the country to create new work and forge meaningful connections. By integrating studio production, public exhibition, and art publication, our residency is driven by a mission to support artists and bring vibrant, dynamic exhibitions to our ever-growing community.

This residency not only provides the time and space for artistic development but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration. As one past resident noted, "Bunker Projects created an opportunity for me to share my work with the local community and make meaningful connections with other local artists," underscoring the program's commitment to creating a supportive and interconnected environment. By participating in our residency program, artists gain the opportunity to immerse themselves in a vibrant cultural landscape, contributing to and benefiting from the dynamic creative energy that defines Bunker Projects.
