Casita Maria Center for Arts and Education and Residency Unlimited (RU) are renewing their partnership this year to create a community-based residency program that is based between Casita Maria’s state of the art facility in the South Bronx, NY and Residency Unlimited’s space in Caroll Gardens.
We are looking to work with artists for whom audience participation plays a major role in their practice and who will work alongside Bronx-based youth and their families as they develop new work.
What does this residency provide?
-A two-fold experience with 2 vibrant organizations putting their resources together to present and disseminate the creative product to a broad range of audiences.
- A studio space for 3 months starting May 1st at Casita Maria free of charge. Casita Maria Center for Arts and Education is a nonprofit community-based organization and home to the Bronx Studio School for Artists and Writers (a NYC public 6th – 12thgrade school). The resident artist can work closely with the young students served by the organization.
- From its event space based at 360 Court Street in Brooklyn, Residency Unlimited (RU) will provide the selected artist with customized logistical support, enhanced networking opportunities and access to its general programming within the context of the international residency program.
- Public presentation of the new work developed will be organized in a format to be determined once the project is defined.
What are the criteria for selection?
Besides quality of the artist’s work, the core criterion is the artist’s willingness to work with the communities of which Casita Maria is a part.
The studio space at Casita Maria will typically be open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm each week day. In addition, occasional weekends and evenings will be made available.
Eligible applicants must be able to commit to spending 25 hours of time @ Casita Maria per month, with the purpose of executing a selected project.
