Torrance Art Museum is proud to present its Studio System Experimental Residency project. The project, ongoing since 2015, emerges from TAM’s desire to bridge the gap between artistic practice and the public. Studio System seeks to bring the dynamism of the artist’s studio into the museum space, encouraging audiences to see works in process. Visitors are encouraged to directly interact with the artists and discuss inspirations, sources, thoughts, feelings, content and context, as well as chart the progression of the works over the 20+ day project with aims toward a greater public appreciation of art, artists and public art institutions.

The 8 person cohort of artists will be curated from open-call submissions. The selected group will utilize the Main Gallery as their studio for the period of the program.

The 2024 Studio System will run Tuesday June 4th to Saturday June 29th, when the final exhibition reception will be held, 6-9pm.
