Profiles of Visiting Artists
2006-2020
Filmmaker: Michael Sheridan
Produced for: Contemporary Department, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Isabella Stewart Gardner surrounded herself with creative people—musicians, dancers, writers, scholars, and painters. The Artist-in-Residence program continues her tradition of inviting artists to live, think, and work at the Museum. Artists are given full access to the collection and the archives, along with support from the curators, conservators, and staff. New work often develops during or after their stay.
