The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Vacheron Constantin Artisan Residency
The residency is designed to support three exceptional artisans whose work emphasizes the preservation and reinterpretation of traditional craft techniques. The selected artisans will be chosen based on the strength of their proposals, technical skill, artistic merit, and innovative approach. Each artisan will focus on a craft—such as pottery, ceramics, weaving, knitting, metalwork, or jewelry—and demonstrate a commitment to preserving traditional methods while incorporating inventive reimaginings or reinterpretations of the craft.
