The Bray

About

The Archie Bray Foundation Residency Program provides emerging and established ceramic artists from around the world with opportunities to engage in creative exploration and development. The program, located in Helena, Montana, offers both summer and long-term residencies, providing artists the space, time, and community to deepen their practice. The program fosters collaboration and dialogue, allowing residents to experiment with new ideas, refine their techniques, and create in an environment that encourages artistic growth. Residents are selected based on the quality of their work and their potential to contribute to and benefit from the residency experience. With over half a century of supporting ceramics, The Bray continues to shape the careers of artists globally, offering both structured and flexible opportunities to develop, collaborate, and exhibit work. While no housing is provided, the foundation supports residents in finding accommodation, and awarded fellowships and scholarships assist with living and studio costs.
