Among this year’s participants are Kolkata-born, New York–based sculptor and painter Rina Banerjee; Nigerian American multidisciplinary artist and activist Adejoke Aderonke Tugbiyele, who is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts; and interdisciplinary artist Salvador Jiménez-Flores, who was born in Jalisco, Mexico, and lives and works in Chicago.RelatedBRENT SIKKEMA (1948–2024)FRANCE APPOINTS RIGHT-WING CULTURE MINISTER “The 2024 artists-in-residence embody the spirit of creativity and exploration that Joan Mitchell championed throughout her life,” said Christa Blatchford, the foundation’s executive director, in a statement. “Their diverse practices and perspectives continue the Foundation’s legacy of supporting artists in their creative process, as Mitchell’s will directed. We are thrilled to be able to provide them with the time, space, and resources to focus, and look forward to the dynamic energy they will bring to the Joan Mitchell Center.” Participants in the residency program receive private studio space on the foundation’s campus for a span of either four weeks or six weeks, support from on-site studio assistants, a $150 weekly stipend, and weekday communal meals.

Those arriving from outside New Orleans are awarded campus housing and receive funding for the transport of materials and artworks. Available to all participants are numerous public programs and professional development sessions, all geared toward providing opportunities for network-building, community dialogue, and feedback from peers and other arts professionals.
