The CultureHub Residency Open Call | Fall 2024
The CultureHub Residency program will offer one-week residencies to artists September 9–December 13, 2024. Artists will receive one week of studio access with full technical support at CultureHub New York or Los Angeles to target specific areas of their project’s development and engage the CultureHub community around their work.
These residencies are designed to support artists as they get new work on its feet and in front of an audience. Preference will be given to proposals that have a clear vision for how to use our physical space and resources. We welcome projects that explore both online and in-person possibilities, but they must engage the physical studio in some way.
CultureHub envisions a world where technology amplifies our humanity rather than diminishes it. We support artists who critically examine technology from a diverse array of mediums and creative perspectives. We encourage applicants to learn about our current and past Resident Artists and view past projects prior to submitting an application.
This opportunity is open to U.S. based artists who are not currently enrolled in a degree-earning program.
Questions? Email residency@culturehub.org or watch a recording of our Residency Q & A held on May 2, 2024 here.
The open call has CLOSED.
Resident Artists will have access to the following support and opportunities:
Access to the CultureHub studio, equipment, and technical support for 1 full week in residence at the CultureHub studios in New York or Los Angeles, which are flexible spaces equipped with reconfigurable lighting, audio, video, and projection systems. See our equipment list for New York and Los Angeles.
Present one public offering to the CultureHub community during their residency (i.e.: work in progress showing at the end of the week, artist talk, curatorial event, etc.). Presentations can be for an in-person and/or remote audience
A $1500 stipend for the development of their project, which can be used how the artist sees fit
Marketing support through our website, eblasts, and social media
Assistance with photo and video documentation of the project
