The studio is located at Plexus Projects in the vibrant Greenpoint, Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City. The studio and self-directed residency may be used for light art production, photography, video, creative research, art documentation, and installation experimentation. It is also suitable for private studio visits with the artist’s own guests. Please note that the studio is work-only and is not appropriate for artists working with methods that involve dust, wet media, fumes, debris, or loud noise. Resident artists may take advantage of studio visits for project advising and feedback with Plexus Projects founder and artist Laura Splan. The studio residency combines the space and time for self-directed exploration with the opportunity to engage with a wider artist community through quarterly community work shares. A culminating online exhibition provides a platform to share your work within the curated context of the Plexus Projects website at the conclusion of the residency.
There are no special file naming, formatting, or image sizing requirements. If you have a website, PDF, or social media that contains your content, there is no need to upload artwork or information that is readily available via your links. It is not necessary to propose a specific project in order to apply or participate.
