WORKS IN PROGRESS RESIDENCY
FOR AWARD WINNERS & HONORARIA
FOR AWARD WINNERS & HONORARIA
Works in Progress residencies at Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) offer Princess Grace Award winners and honoraria the opportunity for creative experimentation without the pressure to produce a final, finished product. Specifically, the residency with BAC gives Princess Grace Award winning artists the space and resources for an incubation period to develop a particular project. Artists are given exclusive and full access to the selected studio space during the residency, and the residency enables the artist to explore, experiment, and push the boundaries of their work in an environment that focuses on process over product.
This aligns seamlessly with the mission of BAC, which serves as “an international center for artistic experimentation and collaboration, providing unique opportunities for the professional development of emerging and mid-career artists from around the world and across disciplines.”
The artists selected for the Works in Progress residency will be afforded use of a BAC studio or the Jerome Robbins Theater (subject to availability) to develop their proposed projects for a duration of 1-3 consecutive weeks during 2024*.
Please use the attachment to BAC’s studio spaces currently available timeframes, and use as a reference when deciding if this is the right year to apply for a Works In Progress Residency. If selected, the artist and BAC will confirm a time for the residency within BAC and the artist’s availability.
Typically grants have ranged from $15,000-$30,000 depending upon the duration of the residency and the projected budget.
Applications are reviewed by members of the Arts Advisory Board, a multidisciplinary panel and guided by AAB Chair, Melia Bensussen. Samples of previously funded applications are available to review.
