MoCA Arlington's Innovation Studio + Store is a creative hub in National Landing, where community, artists, and art-making come together in one welcoming space. The Studio features an Artist Residency that welcomes a new artist every six to eight weeks. Artists develop new work on-site, engage with visitors, and share their creative process through talks and interactive programming. Stop by anytime to meet the artist and experience art in action.

Annie Broderick is the Artist in Residence at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) Innovation Studio from Nov 2, 2026 - Jan 10, 2027. 

Annie Broderick creates textile-based sculptures and installations that explore memory, inheritance, and transformation through the manipulation of material and form. Her work draws on two formative influences: the woods and wetlands of her childhood in southern Georgia and the needlework traditions passed down through her maternal line. Through pleating, binding, stitching, and wrapping, Broderick uses compression, tension, and repetition to give pliable materials an unexpected sense of structure, permanence, and force.

Broderick’s commissioned works include two permanent sculptural installations for the American Express Centurion Lounge at Reagan National Airport and a large-scale outdoor installation for CityCenterDC in Washington, DC. Her site-responsive practice extends to commissioned works for private residences and hospitality and commercial spaces throughout the region. Her work has been featured in DC Modern Luxury, including a 2026 profile of her sculptural practice. Broderick serves on the Board of Directors of the Workhouse Arts Foundation. She holds a B.A. in Studio Art from Davidson College and studied in Paris, where she worked as a copyist at the Louvre.
