Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program

Brooklyn, NY, United States

The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program awards rent-free non-living studio space to 17 visual artists for year-long residencies in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Its mission is to provide working studio space and community for artists. Artists are selected annually based on merit from a competitive pool of applicants by a professional jury comprised of artists and members of the SWSP Artists Advisory Committee.

 

The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program is the new face of the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Space Program, developed for artists, by artists in 1991. In 2014 the program was renamed the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program to honor the legacy of Marie Walsh Sharpe and reflect the new sponsorship and commitment of the Walentas Family Foundation

Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences

Location

105 Hambidge Court
Rabun Gap, GA 30568
United States

Established in 1934, The Hambidge Center is a sanctuary unlike any other dedicated to nurturing
creativity in all walks of life. On the historic 600-acre campus in the North Georgia Mountains, Hambidge
offers a national multidisciplinary residency program, innovative workshops, along with community
programs and a gallery. As the oldest residency program in the South, Hambidge has a long tradition of
excellence hosting artists, writers, dancers, musicians, chefs and scientists exploring their creative voices
while unplugging from everyday distractions. 

With the addition of the Antinori Village in 2023, Hambidge has expanded its programming to include workshops, curated projects, and public events, furthering its mission to nurture creativity. Inspiring workshops are modeled after the residency program welcoming eight individuals at a time to ensure deeper connection and crafted from the number of people that fit around the dinner table. The Cross-Pollination Art Lab in Atlanta also provides studio
space and dynamic arts programming. Through all its programs, Hambidge boldly promotes the creative
process and incubation of ideas in the widest diversity of people while building strong, supportive bonds
of community through open, respectful dialogue and shared experiences.
