Performing Arts Residency Cohort in New York

With the ongoing support of Howard Gilman Foundation, Staten Island Arts continues the Performing Arts Residency Cohort (PARC) for performing artists for a second year ((2024-2025). Donor Name: Staten Island Arts State: New York City: Staten Island Type of Grant: Program Deadline: 05/06/2024 Size of the Grant: $1000 to $10,000 Grant Duration: Less than 1 Year Details: This program supports the creative practice of 10 performing artists living and working in Staten Island through a 6-month residency cohort. This residency opportunity does not focus on project creation, and does not come with space, but rather focuses on nurturing each artist’s creative practice through peer mentorship and professional development.  The PARC program will support individual performing artists across dance, theater, and music at any stage of their careers. Participating artists will be required to attend monthly cohort meetings from September 2024 to February 2025 at the Staten Island Arts offices. The meetings will serve as space to share more about your creative practice and process, including working ideas, challenges, and needs. This model aims to break down the siloed community structure in Staten Island across different forms of expression and bring more support to creative practice without an explicit focus on outcomes or products. Funding Information Awarded individual artists will receive $6,000. Eligibility Criteria Applicants must be at least 18 years old, not a full-time student, and must be a Staten Island resident.
