The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) announces
three open calls for artist residencies in New York City in 2017–18,
funded by The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowment for the
Arts, and SAHA Association. In addition, Norwegian and Finnish sponsors
are currently accepting applications for ISCP residencies.

Each residency includes 24-hour access to a private 300 sq. ft.
studio space in Brooklyn, studio visits from visiting critics and an
appointed advisor; field trips to museums, galleries and other cultural
venues; and participation in artist talks and Open Studios. In addition,
residents have the opportunity to work with a studio assistant, develop
projects in the public realm with the support of ISCP staff, and are
invited to take part in ISCP’s exhibition program. Residents become part
of a growing network of international artists and curators who are ISCP
alumni.

ISCP is currently accepting applications from visual artists including
painters, sculptors, and artists who create installations, or work on
paper, including printmakers, who are eligible to work in the United
States, for a fully-funded five-month residency, from September 1, 2017
to January 31, 2018, plus living and materials stipends (approximately
