Community Engagement Through Collaboration

What Is Creative Assembly?

NOMA’s Creative Assembly program cultivates community engagement through a year-long residency in the Department of Learning and Engagement. The residency does not provide a dedicated studio or exhibition space. Artists are encouraged to draw inspiration from public programs, permanent collections, museum exhibitions, and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden.
