Eligibility

Artists must be at least 21 years of age by the start of the residency period. Residencies are 12-months (limited number of 3-month residencies also available).

There is no upper limit for age, but these are former dormitory spaces that are meant be shared, which is not at everyone’s comfort level, and we anticipate that the majority of participants will be in their 20s or 30s.

Artists who prefer to live alone and can afford the full residency participation fee can apply for an entire live/work studio. The spaces for artists living solo will generally be 877 sq ft (81.5 sq m) with a kitchenette and two bathrooms.

Artists who are willing to share the live/work studio space are able to split the fees. If you are applying as a group of two or more artists, you can indicated this on the application, though each artist must apply individually.

Artists of all disciplines will be considered for the residency program, including visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, film, fashion, architecture, design and culinary arts.

Please keep in mind that certain features of the building may make it challenging for some artists. The building is an historic landmark, and so the only ventilation for the studios are the windows. No open flames or toxic materials with fumes can be used inside the building.

There are no geographic restrictions, but international artists must secure any necessary visas. The length of the residency is 12 months, but we have a limited number of 3-month residencies.

Application

The application is currently open and artists will be accepted on a rolling basis, with most move-ins scheduled on or around the 1st of the month, and we anticipate adding between 10-20 artists each month.  

Artist applications will be judged by experts in each discipline based on talent as well as the motivation to build a lasting career in the arts.

Our official launch is January 1, 2025, but we are accepting artists in November and December 2024 during our “soft” open period as we prepare the programming and facility. Those artists will not have the time in 2024 counted against their residency period – each will be considered to be starting January 1, 2025.
