The John Michael Kohler Arts Center is now accepting applications for the 2027 Arts/Industry residency, a three-month program hosted by Kohler Co. in Kohler, Wisconsin. The funded industrial residency enables artists to produce ambitious new works in vitreous china, cast iron, and brass. Kohler Co. will host four artists at a time for the three-month residency: within each cohort, two residents work in the Kohler Co. Pottery and two in the Foundry. 

Professional artists can apply. Advance experience working with clay or metal is not required—simply an interest in adapting industrial processes to the artist’s practice.

In addition to 24/7 studio access, residents receive free industrial materials, use of equipment, technical support, photographic services, housing, round-trip transportation, and a monthly honorarium. Residents may choose to work in the Pottery or Foundry.
