Descripción del Premio
Residency Unlimited (RU) announces an Open Call for the 2024 NYC-Based Artist Residency Program.
Dedicated to artists who are traditionally underrepresented in the arts, RU’s NYC-Based Artist Residency Program is accepting applications from artists who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color, with a focus on artistic practices that explore ideas connected to identity as an individual or as part of a larger community. The three-month residency will take place from April 1 - June 30, 2024 in collaboration with RU Guest Curator Hayley Ferber.
Residency Unlimited (RU) is a non-profit art organization that supports the creation, presentation, and circulation of contemporary art and ideas through its unique residency program and year-round public programs. Located within a former South Congregational Church in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, RU is a multifunctional space, acting as a hub and meeting place for RU’s various community activities and public programs, including, talks, screenings, performances, and exhibitions. Here, artists and curators-in-residence hold meetings, conduct research, and at times produce work.
