Meet the current Howard Foundation fellowship awardees.

Black Gold: Stories Untold

June 6 – November 2, 2025

Opening this summer at Fort Point, FOR-SITE’s highly anticipated exhibition Black Gold: Stories Untold invites 17 contemporary artists and collectives to reflect on the resilience, struggles, and triumphs of African Americans who lived in California from the Gold Rush to the Reconstruction period following the Civil War (c. 1849–1877). Through newly commissioned and recent artworks, the exhibition highlights important but lesser-known figures and narratives from California’s history, exploring the presence of slavery and the struggle for legal rights within this “free” state, the successes of Black entrepreneurs, and the experiences of African American Army regiments known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

Museum of Glass Residency

The Visiting Artist Residency Program brings artists from around the world to the Museum Hot Shop to create new works with our Hot Shop Team. These residencies create a sense of excitement and wonder as artists explore new directions in their practice that may not be possible in their own studios. Residencies range in length from single-day visits to week-long engagements, and one piece created during the residency is selected for inclusion in the Museum's Permanent Collection. On the Sunday of their residency at 1pm, Visiting Artists share insights into their creative process, and invite guests to ask questions and learn more about the body of work they created during the week.
