Triangle Arts is dedicated to advancing the work of emerging and underrepresented visual artists through its short-term workshops and long-term residency programs. The Triangle Artist's Residency Program provides free studio space to eligible artists for a six month period (Oct-Mar, April-Sept). Each artist's stay culminates in an Open Studio exhibition to which the general public is invited. Resident artists will also receive a materials stipend of up to $2500, and studio visits from critics, writers and curators. Artists are responsible for all other expenses, including housing, travel, and meals.
The program begins in October and ends in September of the following year. Studios are located at 20 Jay Street in Brooklyn, NY. Artists have full access to their studios 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If accepted, artists must spend a minimum of 15 hours a week in the studios or will be asked to leave the program.
