“I am drawn to working at various in-betweens as an artist: in between the art museum and the public, the art gallery and the artist, the art organization and its contract workers.” – Maia Chao
The Hudson D. Walker Gallery, with the support of the Stephen and Palmina Pace Foundation, is transformed into an 8-week residency workspace for mid-career artists.
We are excited to welcome and host Maia Chao, an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and 2017-2018 Visual Arts Fellow, as our 2023 Stephen Pace Artist in Residence.
