The W.O.W. Project is passionate about providing space to support generative collaborations between artists and our community. This past year, our 6 month artist residency included a stipend, access to W.O.W’s basement studio space, an opening reception, community workshops, and an artist talk.

For the fifth 店面 Residency, we are calling for individual artists or a pair of artistic collaborators to create a window display for the storefront at 26 Mott Street in honor of 清明 Qingming, tomb-sweeping day, centering the theme of grief and grieving. This year’s theme feels particularly fitting in allowing us to collectively take a deep breath and process the impact of these historical shifts as we move into a new year.

This is a funded 6-month residency from February 1 - July 1, 2021. There are no restrictions on artists’ mediums, age, nationality, ethnicity, gender, or any other criteria. Visual artists, writers, poets, activists, filmmakers, curators, designers, architects, makers & tinkerers and more are all invited to apply. We only require that applicants be based in the New York area with a preference given to those who currently reside in Chinatown. We strongly encourage members of the Asian diaspora and those with a socially engaged practice to apply.
