solo exhibitions. Artists working in any media are eligible.
The residency will take place November 15, 2020 through January 15, 2021.

Although the focus of the residency is to produce new artwork in a
mostly self-guided manner, there will the availability of consultation
and light instruction regarding safe and effective use of the tools and
materials within the studios as well as opportunities for studio visits
with independent curators and area gallerists, performed in-person or
virtually, including Will Hutnick (Ortega Y Gasset Projects and
Wassaic Project) Nicholas Cueva (Underdonk) Jen Hitchings (Studio
Associate) and Krista Scenna (Ground Floor Gallery), as well as Enrico
Gomez and Nick De Pirro of PROTO GOMEZ. These studio visits are
intended as a dialogue opportunity about the work being created in the
residency with individuals working in the emerging arts field.
The shop spaces at Project Studios are very large and have been
configured for optimal social distancing. Project Studios is an active
creative community, so depending on availability, artists selected for
the residency may be provided with an individual, shared, or common
studio. Studio configuration will be developed on a case-by-case basis
depending on need and availability as well as safety and comfort. The
default space provided will be a college-style semi-private studio
within one of the large studio suites. Masks are required. Use of the
studios is subject to future directives from New Jersey state government
and Hoboken city government related to COVID-19.
Previously, this program was focused on ceramics, and only one artist
was awarded a residency. For 2020, when many artists have seen
opportunities significantly reduced, we decided to reduce our
application fee and broaden the scope and award up to three artists,
working in any media.
There is no cost for the residency itself, however artists are expected
to acquire their own materials and consumables. If available, a larger
private studio beyond what is provided can be rented on a monthly basis
at a significant discount. Clay and metal can be purchased via Project
Studios.
The studios are located a few blocks from the Hoboken PATH Train
station, an easy connection to Lower Manhattan via various subway lines
to WTC PATH, or from Brooklyn via the L Train to the 14th Street PATH
Station. The studio also has free parking on-site.
