About the Program

The White Hot Res­i­dency at Curbs and Stoops hosts pio­neer­ing young artists in all dis­ci­plines includ­ing visual art, per­for­mance art, sculp­ture, sound and video, and new media. The pro­gram offers a four month first time res­i­dency for artists who are selected based upon merit, and through a process of open appli­ca­tion and invitation.

Exper­i­men­ta­tion is encour­aged as is dis­course and col­lab­o­ra­tion. The goals of the res­i­dency are to — develop new work, ini­ti­ate dis­course and col­lab­o­ra­tions among peers, and to exhibit resul­tant work to the pub­lic. Because of the prox­im­ity to New York City, there will be many oppor­tu­ni­ties for one on one and small group vis­its by promi­nent crit­ics, gal­lerists, cura­tors, and artists. The prac­tice based res­i­dency will be sup­ple­mented by lec­tures, stu­dio vis­its, & cri­tiques by vis­it­ing tutors.

Artists agree to shar­ing process, updates of progress and reflec­tions through media partner’s web­site and publications.
