The John Michael Kohler Arts Center is joining forces with the Kohler Company for an artist showcase.
Twelve artists have been selected to participate in the 2026 Arts/Industry residency.
The competitive three-month residency enables artists to experiment with industrial materials and techniques at the Kohler Co. factory, producing ambitious new works in vitreous china, cast iron, and brass.
The 2026 artists-in-residence are: Chase Barney, Michelle Im, Ana Buitrago, Ben Gould, Annie Duncan, Jiha Moon, Funlola Coker, Esther Elia, Sharif Farrag, Jason S. Yi, Louis-Charles Dionne, and Abigail Lucien.
The artists were chosen from a highly competitive pool of over 700 applicants.
Throughout 2026, Kohler Co. will host four artists at a time for the three-month residency: within each cohort, two residents work in the Kohler Co. Pottery and two in the Foundry.
More details on the 2026 Arts/Industry residency can be found at JMKAC.org.
