Akin is pleased to announce the inaugural cohort of the Akin Studio Program at MOCA. These artists will be starting their one-year studio residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada in September and will share their practices with the museum’s visitors through programs such as open studio events. The studios vary in size from approximately 25 to 250 square feet and were designed by Akin to create a light and welcoming environment for artists to develop their work. Similar to Akin’s other locations, the space will foster a community atmosphere and the exchange of ideas.
