Eligibility

LMCC is shifting its guidelines for the Workspace program to be more responsive to the multi- and interdisciplinary ways in which artists work. We seek to create a welcoming, diverse, and dynamic cohort of individuals working across disciplines, including but not limited to visual arts, film, performance art, social practice, design, digital media, and the literary arts. Workspace is a good fit for applicants who are: - Generating new and original work and engaged in a contemporary dialogue - Seeking to foster a rigorous practice by dedicating time and focus to the creative process - In need of studio space in which to experiment and develop new work - Seeking a community of peers to engage in creative and professional dialogue over nine months in Lower Manhattan - Seeking to make connections with a network of curators, critics, and other arts professionals working in and around New York City - Interested in opportunities to share in-progress work with audiences

Program Description

LMCC’s flagship residency program, Workspace, is a nine-month studio-based program that focuses on the creative process and cohort development of emerging artists. At its core, Workspace nurtures experimentation, creative risk taking, collaboration, learning and skill sharing through regular opportunities for dialogue with peers and arts professionals. Participating artists are provided round-the-clock access to semi-private studio spaces and are expected to engage with the cohort for the full duration of the nine-month program.
