The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program is now open for applications to provide working studio space and community for artists. Resident artists are selected annually based on merit from a competitive pool of applicants by a professional jury comprised of artists, critics, and curators.
The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program awards rent-free non-living studio space to 17 visual artists for year-long residencies. Our mission is to provide working studio space and community for artists.
Where is the program?
The Sharpe-Walentas studios are located in DUMBO, Brooklyn, a thriving waterfront community full of art galleries, creative professionals, and independent retailers.
Eligibility Criteria
The program is open to professional visual artists, 21 years or older who live in the US, as well as US citizens or permanent residents living abroad. Applicants may not be enrolled in any degree program, current participants in a Walentas-affiliated program, participate in any other residency program, or maintain a separate studio during their residency.
The studio program is open to eligible artists nationwide.
