Get matched →KUNSTRAUM is an artist-led gallery and residency program in New York City, dedicated to artistic production, collaboration, and exchange. It cultivates an international community for artists and curators to experiment and develop new perspectives in contemporary art, with a strong commitment to emerging voices and cross-disciplinary practices. The Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program offers three-month residencies for national and international artists, organized on a quarterly cycle.
The residency program supports artists in developing independent projects while embedding them within KUNSTRAUM’s active creative network. Residents engage with a diverse community of artists, designers, filmmakers, and curators. They are invited to participate in monthly salons, field trips, and studio visits, connect with participants in their ongoing exhibition program, and contribute to the annual Members Show in the fall. The program offers a dynamic context that bridges studio practice, curatorial exchange, and public presentation — encouraging artists to expand their work within a collaborative and internationally connected framework. No living is included; the resident artist is responsible for finding their own living and visa arrangements.
The studio spaces have 24/7 access with a freight elevator, 13-foot ceilings, a slop sink, and secure Wi-Fi. They are meant to be used only for work with non-toxic materials. All painters must work on a non-toxic basis. Nearby amenities include Blick Art Supply, hardware stores, the post office, print shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and delis (1.5 blocks away), and Home Depot (10-block walk).
