PROJECTS CURRENTLY IN THE LAB
“Artists excite me. I feel very lucky to be in a place where we’re helping highly imaginative people realize their dreams.” —Gideon Lester, Artistic Director and Chief Executive
Fisher Center LAB is the Fisher Center’s artist residency and commissioning program, providing custom-made and meaningful support for innovative artists across disciplines. Since its launch in 2012, Fisher Center LAB has supported hundreds of artists by providing the time, resources, and funding they need to experiment, dream, and fully realize their artistic potential. Through Fisher Center LAB, we incubate ambitious new projects and build long-term relationships with artists. We support their creative practice, infrastructure, and livelihood, and help tour their work well beyond the Fisher Center.
Please note, Fisher Center LAB residencies are by invitation only.
