Art on the Block NYC

New York City, New York, United States

Art on the Block NYC offers a vibrant short-term residency program, transforming New York City storefronts into dynamic spaces where art and community engagement intersect. This residency provides artists the opportunity to turn these spaces into both a working studio and a public gallery. Throughout their three-week stay, artists are expected to be on-site five days a week, facilitating various interactive programs for youth, families, and adults. The residency aims to support and advocate for artists while fostering community collaboration and hands-on engagement with art. Artists receive a stipend of $5000 for their participation, and have the opportunity to sell their artwork under a separate sales contract.
