UPTOWN/DOWNTOWN:
An “Intracity” Encounter and Free Workshop/Performance Opportunity
What does it mean to be an Uptown or Downtown Artist? Is the idea grounded in geography? Community? Aesthetics? How can we bring these ideas and artists together? This summer, The Field, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Harlem Arts Alliance will collaborate to provide a unique opportunity for performing artists to explore these questions within the context of developing new work for presentation.
How To Apply:
If you consider yourself a “Downtown Artist” please visit Lower Manhattan
Cultural Council: http://lmcc.net/grants/services/uptowndowntown/index.html for more information.
If you consider yourself an “Uptown Artist” please visit Harlem Arts Alliance: http://www.harlemaa.org for more information.

FAR - Field Artist Residencies
Field Artist Residencies provide free rehearsal and showing space grants to artists. Artists can use these residencies to develop a new piece, find new ways to generate material, work on collaborative ventures, or anything that would benefit from time and space.
The FAR Space is at 521 W 26th St and 10 Ave. The rehearsal space grants are six hours per week for four months. Showing grants provide artists with two weekends (Fri-Sun) to show developing works in an informal setting.
