The Ground Floor Program, geared exclusively for New York-based artists, provides one year of private studio space accessible 24/7, and additional program offerings.
APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED: November 6, 2016
RESIDENCIES: Twelve-month residency: January 1, 2017 – December 31, 2017.
DESCRIPTION: ISCP’s first residency program developed specifically for New York City-based emerging artists was launched in July 2015. This program offers up to seven year-long residencies that include a partially subsidized studio in East Williamsburg and access to professional development programs. The residencies take place within the same building as ISCP’s acclaimed international residency program, and artists have access to ISCP’s dynamic, in-house community of artists and curators from all over the world.
This program offers much-needed workspace to New York City artists, while expanding ISCP’s international community to include local artists. Emerging artists working across all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Artists who collaborate can also apply to share a large studio and related costs. If accepted, artists must provide proof of New York City residency (e.g. income tax returns or utility bills) for the past two years.
Separate from ISCP’s international residency program, where residents are fully sponsored, the New York City-based artist studios, from 200-350 square feet in size, will cost $700-900 per month for a private studio. Shared studios are $450 per month. This includes 24-hour access to a furnished studio, kitchen and lounge, WiFi, administration and all utilities. Residents will be paired with a prominent artist advisor, will present work in two Open Studios at ISCP in 2017, will have access to audio-visual equipment and basic hand tools, and will be invited to numerous ISCP social events.
APPLICATION PROCESS AND SELECTION: There will be the possibility to renew the studio for a second year. Residents will be chosen by a jury of art professionals through a competitive process.
