Located in Midtown Manhattan, the program provides professional artists with subsidized private studio spaces, opportunities for curatorial engagement, and a supportive community of fellow artists. Artistic excellence is the primary criterion for acceptance. Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of five artists and art professionals through an anonymous review of work samples and supporting materials. Selected members receive a private studio for up to two years, with the possibility of renewal through reapplication. Studios range from 200 to 440 square feet, with 11-foot ceilings and 24/7 access to the building.
