TO DO list for artists:

1. Find space
2. Create, rehearse, present

What if we took care of #1 for you?

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space program provides artists and arts organizations with rent-free space to create, rehearse, and present work.

It’s that simple.

In partnership with area landlords, LMCC makes vacant space downtown available to artists, curators, and cultural organizations on a temporary basis for projects. And not only that, but Swing Space artists and art groups are also eligible to apply for stipends ranging from $300 to $3,000 to support project costs.

Proposals are accepted twice a year through an open call and reviewed by a panel of artists, arts professionals, and LMCC staff.
