The Penumbra Workspace Program will benefit two US-based and four New York City-based emerging artists* during 2021 with access to time, facilities, critical and technical support, and honoraria. The extension of the program ranges from two weeks to four weeks depending on the time requested by the selected artists. Participants have liberal access to the workspace facilities. They are expected to use their time to pursue their own projects: researching, photographing, scanning, printing, working on an exhibition or editing a book.

  • An emerging artist is someone in the early stage of their career, who takes risks and embraces challenges, and who hasn’t yet established a solid reputation as an artist amongst other artists, curators, producers, critics, and arts administrators.

Residents receive an honorarium of $4000 (housing and other expenses are the sole responsibility of the artist).

Workspace residents receive from two weeks to four weeks of liberal access to the B&W labs, digital tools, alternative processes darkroom and shooting studios at Penumbra Foundation.
