Submit to 2024 ARTS CENTER RESIDENCY APPLICATION

About the 2024 Arts Center Residency 

The Arts Center Residency offers residencies to artists and creative practitioners, working in any discipline, currently in need of studio space to support their practice, who are interested in a short-term residency experience focused on experimentation, ongoing development, and being in dialogue with fellow residents. LMCC welcomes applications from artists whose practice is self-directed and process-based and would benefit from the unique resource of the Arts Center at Governors Island serving as an incubator for research and interdisciplinary exchange.

The 2024 residency will take place in the open plan studios at LMCC’s Arts Center at Governors Island in two sessions:

  • Session One: Monday, March 4 - Friday, July 19, 2024
  • Session Two: Monday, August 5 - Friday, December 20, 2024

LMCC is committed to assembling cohorts of artists in residence that collectively reflect the cultural and creative diversity of the field including artists of diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual identities, genders, ages, physical abilities, and artistic genres and forms.

Submit to 2024 SU-CASA: Manhattan Application

About SU-CASA 

SU-CASA is a community arts engagement program that places artists and organizations for residencies at senior centers across the five boroughs of New York City. The program provides selected artists with a stipend in exchange for the creation and delivery of arts programming for older adults. The program has two components:

Programming supported through SU-CASA engages older adults in participatory arts projects with an emphasis on hands-on learning and adaptive teaching. The residency culminates in a public program component showcasing the participants’ progress and creative expression that is open to the center’s surrounding community.

SU-CASA aims to positively impact the well-being of older adults through arts-based, process-oriented activities. The program supports artists who are sensitive to the needs of older adults and are interested in building relationships with older adults at their local senior center. Through responsive collaborations, SU-CASA cultivates unique arts learning experiences and generative social exchange for participating older adults.

Individual artists may apply for SU-CASA through their local arts council; organizations must apply for a SU-CASA designation directly through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
