Artists + Residents

The Arab American National Museum’s Artists + Residents program is a platform for established and emerging artists to cultivate and grow their practices while immersed in a supportive environment that encourages artistic collaboration and civic engagement in metro Detroit. 

The residency welcomes diverse local, national and international artists with creative and critical projects related to the Museum’s mission, vision and values. With a studio apartment located down the street from AANM, resident artists make Dearborn their home, delve into the everyday life of the most concentrated Arab community in the U.S. and connect with diverse communities from the metro Detroit area and the world for inspiration, dialogue and collaboration.
