Since 1997, the Artist Residencies department has partnered with generous real estate owners in Lower Manhattan to address the critical need for studio, rehearsal, and presentation space for artists working in all disciplines. We secure donations of temporarily vacant ground floor retail spaces, gutted industrial spaces, upper level office floors, and subterranean bank vaults downtown and transform them into incubators for art. Space is granted through open calls for applications. By placing artists into the Lower Manhattan landscape we are simultaneously serving the arts community at large and enhancing downtown’s cultural environment.
This June, LMCC grantee Eve Sicular and her band Isle of Klezbos will present its 15th annual KlezBiGay Pride show, Isle of Klezbos: Music for a Sustainable City at El Sol Brillante Garden in the East Village.
