Call for Artists: NYU SUMMER STUDIO RESIDENCY

by

June 3 – July 28, 2018

Located on NYU’s downtown campus, in the internationally recognized Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions, Summer Studio Residency is a non-residential, 8-week program providing prime space and personalized mentorship to 24 emerging artists interested in focusing on creative practice.

NYU’s SSR program encourages creative risk-taking, experimentation, and expansive dialogue across the following disciplines: drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and video.

Through our innovative mentorship model, residents will work closely with practicing professional artists.

SSR mentors will function as guides to professional aspects within and beyond the studio by sharing their experiences and skills, providing candid feedback, and offering career advice. Weekly field trips and workshops with mentors and invited guests will connect residents to the dynamic cultural communities of New York City.

Residents and mentors will work together in NYU’s conveniently located, warehouse-style creative hub at 20 Cooper Square. Everyone will receive semi-private studio space with 24-hour access.

SSR seeks applicants who have received their studio degrees in the last five years who desire an immersive studio experience working closely with 6 professional artists.

Testimonials from 2017 Residents

“One of the things that I loved about the space was the open layout. I had some fantastic, big conversations there.
 
“I’ve been able to be freer here.”
 
“Studio visits propelled me forward. I knew that at one point in my week I would have to talk to someone about my work. My favorite part was having a studio, but the structure of ongoing studio visits made me take a serious look at what I was doing.”
 
Having late night conversations and having a place to come to and to work on a computer for an hour – having a physical and mental space to get away– was very helpful. The Contemporary Art class was also a favorite. I was worried about losing the critical component after graduating, but it allowed me to stay engaged in that way.”
