Program Description

This nine-month Residency provides an infrastructure and laboratory for NYC-based early career and underrepresented artists to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the field of public art. The Residency is focused on the incubation and commissioning of a public art project. This year $8000 will be awarded to 1 or 2 selected projects, to support the realization of the artists' vision within a public space in New York City. More Art will facilitate the development of community collaborations, research, and building participation. The selected project must culminate in an exhibition in public space, event, series, collaboration, or engagement within the 9-month Residency period. DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 15, 11:59 EST Please note the Residency is research and project based. We do not provide housing or studio space.
