BAXTER ST Residency Program

Each year, BAXTER ST at CCNY invites emerging lens-based artists living in New York City who have yet to have a solo exhibition in New York City to apply for the BAXTER ST Residency Program. This residency offers lens-based artists much-needed workspace in New York City as well as access to the BAXTER ST at CCNY community and programs.

Residents receive a monthly stipend appropriate to the W.A.G.E. certification level during the three months of workspace access as well as an additional production fee to realize your exhibition.

Each resident will be granted a solo exhibition at BAXTER ST at CCNY after their term of residency. Residents will also be part of robust programming, including a public conversation, a video interview, and a one-on-one meetings with an Art Advisory Committee Member and Baxter St staff.
