2025 Fall Open Studios
6PM
Opening Reception: Friday, November 14, 6–9pm
Open Hours: Saturday, November 15, 1–6pm
The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) Fall Open Studios is a presentation of international contemporary art by the 33 artists and curators from 22 countries in residence. Guest speaker artist Martha Wilson will make remarks at 7pm during the opening reception.
This event is free and open to the public.
Three times a year, ISCP invites the public to engage with its cohort of international artist and curator residents in their individual studios. Residents present recent projects, work in progress, site-specific installations and their archives to a large audience of professionals and art enthusiasts from New York and beyond. Concentrated in a three-story postindustrial loft building in East Williamsburg, ISCP supports the creative advancement of artists and curators from around the world, presents exhibitions and talks year-round, and fosters cultural exchange. From 1994 to the present, ISCP has hosted over 2,000 alumni hailing from more than 105 countries. Today, ISCP’s Open Studios, a three-decade tradition, continues to be the organization’s signature event.
Visitors can also explore two exhibitions at ISCP: Carried Over, guest curated by TK Smith, and Maya Jeffereis: Land of Eternal Summer, curated by Melinda Lang, Director of Programs and Exhibitions. Carried Over explores the creative strategies of Braxton Garneau, Remy Jungerman, and Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński, three ISCP alumni with African and Indigenous roots, who tell profound stories of place and displacement, of resilience and resistance. Ground Floor resident Maya Jeffereis debuts a new video installation for her exhibition that reframes overlooked histories of the Japanese diaspora in Brazil through a poetic blend of archival documentation, firsthand accounts and experimental film techniques.
