Studio Museum names Adkins, Hunter and King as its 2026–27 artists-in-residence
The Studio Museum in Harlem has selected Turiya Adkins, Timothy Yanick Hunter and Clifford Prince King for its yearlong 2026-27 artist-in-residence program. From November 2026 through October 2027, the three will hold individual studios in the museum's new building on West 125th Street, with material support, professional training and a culminating group exhibition.

The Studio Museum in Harlem has named its 2026-27 artists-in-residence: multidisciplinary artist Turiya Adkins, artist and curator Timothy Yanick Hunter, and photographer and filmmaker Clifford Prince King. The yearlong residency runs from November 2026 through October 2027, and the three artists will be the latest cohort to take up individual studios in the institution's new building on West 125th Street.
The residency combines open-ended studio time with institutional resources. Each participant is given a private studio in the new building, material support for making work, and professional development training designed to support the practical side of an artistic career. The program concludes with a group exhibition in one of the museum's galleries, introducing the cohort's work to the museum's public. An exhibition of the most recent cohort's work is currently on view through January 3.
The selection places three distinct practices side by side under the museum's umbrella: Adkins's multidisciplinary work, Hunter's dual role as an artist and curator, and King's photography and filmmaking. By housing the program in its new West 125th Street home, the museum is anchoring one of its flagship artist-support initiatives in a purpose-built setting. The announcement was made in Hyperallergic's weekly Art Movements roundup on October 22, 2026 - the column's Thursday digest of appointments, awards and institutional news - marking one of the first artist-cohort announcements tied to the building's ongoing programming life.
The same Art Movements edition also reported that the Prix Duchamp, France's largest contemporary art award, went this year to the artist duo Brognon Rollin, formed by David Brognon and Stephane Rollin. The winners receive a 35,000 euro prize and appear alongside the other nominees - Joel Andrianomearisoa, Laura Henno and Josefa Ntjam - in an exhibition at the Musee d'Art Moderne de Paris running through February 7. The roundup also noted that the New York Public Library received a gift of 250 prints by Kiki Smith from her sister, artist Seton Smith, described as the most comprehensive collection of Smith's prints in the United States.
