The New York Art Residency and Studios (NARS) Foundation International Artist Residency Program supports emerging and mid-career artists and curators working across all disciplines through three and six-month residencies. The program is open to both International and US-based artists, creating a shared space for artistic dialogue and international cultural exchange for an extended period of time.
The NARS Foundation Exhibition Program presents compelling and innovative work being produced on a local and national level by emerging and mid-career artists and curators today. The Main Gallery and Project Space are located in an industrial building amongst our residency studios, which allows for a unique opportunity to present and experience contemporary artwork within a work-space environment. The presence of artists’ studios also allows for further dialogue and exchange between artists and curators.
