Does LMCC only work in Lower Manhattan?
Although LMCC has historically been connected to Lower Manhattan, since 1983, LMCC has been working all throughout the borough of Manhattan. Through our Manhattan Arts Grants Program as well as, more recently, the SU-CASA residency program, the UMEZ Arts Engagement for Uptown Artists and the creation of LMCC's Arts Center on Governors Island, LMCC aims to serve the whole borough.
Do I have to reside in Manhattan to access LMCC's Artist Resources?
It depends on the program. Some programs, such as SU-CASA Residency and the Manhattan Arts Grants, do have location restrictions, but others, such as the Workspace Residency, do not. We encourage you to read the program guidelines and eligibility requirements of each program you apply for.
Is LMCC Publicly Funded?
LMCC is a 501(c)3 organization. We receive funds from several streams including government grants, corporate sponsorships and foundation grants; however, we also rely on individual donations. So please make a donation here!
What is LMCC's Arts Center at Governors Island?
Since 2011, the Arts Center at Governors Island is a space where LMCC holds artist residencies, art exhibitions, public events and more.
