LMCC's Swing Space Program!
Free space for artists!
Swing Space is a new initiative of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Working in partnership with area landlords, LMCC makes vacant space downtown available to artists, curators and arts organizations on a temporary basis at no cost.
The program is designed to address the short-term space needs for a range of projects, and to encourage creative, experimental and collaborative approaches to artistic practice in unconventional spaces. Project stipends ranging from $300 to $3000 are provided to support project costs! Recent Swing Space grantees include THE THING, National Theater of the United States of America, Jessica Irish, and Noah Fischer.
Applications are accepted and reviewed in the following project categories:
- Studio space
- Rehearsal space
- Installation for public presentation
- Curated exhibitions for public presentation
- Temporary office space
LMCC is also accepting applications for the 15 Nassau Program, which provides space for public programs and performances. Recent 15 Nassau grantees include Pablo Helguera/PERFORMA 05, Koosil-Ja Hwang, and Artists Alliance.
Deadline: February 21, 2006, 5:00 PM.
