Fall 2020 Artist Residency Applications Now Open: The Center at West Park

The Center at West Park’s Performing Artist Residency Program nurtures exemplary and boundary-pushing theater, dance, puppetry, opera, multi-, and inter-disciplinary performance artists and companies by providing free performance space, subsidized rehearsal space, and a 50/50 split of ticket sales. We support the creation of new works and the re-working of classic texts (and other source materials) in contemporary contexts in order to diversify and enrich the performing arts community of New York and to attract and challenge enthusiastic and adventurous audiences.

All Resident Artists are offered one to four weeks in our unique Sanctuary Space to produce and perform their shows. All residencies include one or more ticketed public performances. The Sanctuary Space comes equipped with a rep lighting plot and PA sound system.
