We are pleased to announce the 2017 Open Call for Artists Alliance Inc's LES Studio Program. This application is for the following 2017 residency sessions: September 1 - November 31, December 1, - February 31, 2018, and September 1, - February 31, 2018. The application for the remainder of the year will be available on March 1st and due on April 3rd. 

 

Based in Lower Manhattan and supported by public funds, the http://artistsallianceinc.org/programs/les-studio-program" target="_blank">LES Studio Program provides free three and six-month residencies to under-represented, emerging and mid-career artists. Artists working across all disciplines are encouraged to apply for fully-funded shared studio space in the historic http://www.theclementecenter.org/" target="_blank">Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center in the heart of the Lower East Side Art District. 



The residency offers 24-hour access to a furnished studio with WiFi, the opportunity to present work to curators and critics through AAI-organized studio visits, a curated exhibition at http://artistsallianceinc.org/cuchifritos-gallery-2/cuchifritos" target="_blank">Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space (located inside the Essex Street Market) and exposure to a broad general audience during bi-annual Open Studios. AAI’s Curator and Director are available to provide critical feedback throughout each residency period to help artists clarify conceptual issues that may arise during their project development. Residencies are meant to facilitate experimentation, research, or production by providing much-needed space and time to residents. 



Residents are offered access to Materials for the Arts during his or her residency. Any additional materials needed should be brought or purchased by the artist.
