Our site specific residency is open to artists of all disciplines. Multidisciplinary artists are empowered to create interactive new work with a public component in any of our eight distinct rooms over the course of three months. We seek proposals with strong artistic merit that are grounded in a relevancy to the broader North Brooklyn community. We are currently accepting applications for our May-July 2013 residency.

You can download our application here.

Our studio residency is open to North Brooklyn artists. We provide free studio space to North Brooklyn artists with community-based practice for 3 months. Artists are selected based on artistic merit, the relevancy of the artist's work to the broader network of health, youth, employment and housing services offered by St. Nicks, and the depth of the artist's personal connection to North Brooklyn.  We are currently accepting applications for the fall 2012 residency. 

You can download our application here.

Both applications and full details are available on our website: www.renaissancenbk.org/submit-a-proposal

The Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) Program - The Bronx Museum of the Arts

AIM 33 – Open call to artists
Deadline: September 5, 2012

The Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) Program at The Bronx Museum of the Arts was established in 1980 with the objective to provide networking opportunities for emerging artists residing in the New York metropolitan area and to introduce their work to a greater audience.

AIM is structured as a “collaborative residency” in which participants work directly with established artists, collectors, art critics, curators, dealers, lawyers, and other art world professionals.

The 13-week seminar is offered annually to 36 participants, culminating with a biennial exhibition of the participants’ work in June 2013.
AIM sessions provide information, instruction, and professional guidance by addressing areas of practical concern to artists, among them curatorial practice, copyright law, exhibition and public art opportunities, gallery representation, grant writing, and marketing.

Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 6-8 pm at The Bronx Museum of the Arts and off-site locations. Among past participants in the AIM Program are Glenn Ligon—who was one of the early AIM artists and whose work was first exhibited at the Bronx Museum—and Polly Apfelbaum, Rina Banerjee, Amy Cutler, Anton Vidokle, and Pheobe Washburn.
